Planning on changing ALL the fluids in the Disco as I have no idea when they were last done.

Who uses what for what? And what quantities should I be ordering?

I've got a 95 v8 Disco.

Thanks for any advice.
 
Have you got the ring binder handbook ? All grades and quantities are in there . Which oils are a hot topic here ! Much "discussion" .....personally I go with whatever decent stuff I can get cheapest locally , from a truck or farm suppliers . Most often Comma . Thats about as specific as I am going to get as I like my head on my shoulders with most of my teeth still on the inside .....

No ring binder or manuals of any kind hence the question! Sorry, should have said that!

Thanks Discool! Most helpful on quantity!

Must seek out a Haynes now to tell me how to go about doing gearbnox and diff's as never done anything other than an engine oil change before...
 
AH MATE!

You're a legend! That's awesome!

Right, flick through these helpful lil how too's, make a list of parts, get them ordered, then charge the laptop for a weekend of getting greasy!

Need to find some indoor space for playing...it's damn cold outside still...
