Nodge me old mucker Any tips for filling ird oil? Recon pipe and a funnel same as gearbox?

Funnel n hosepipe in the engine bay worked wonders for me had to whittle the hose down to fit in the filler plug though

Looks nice. Give it a smash down some country lanes and through a few potholes. See how she fares

The gearbox plug were made of chedder n'all but i had he off

Its interesting to me how different vehicles depriciate over time my first freelander (the one in my pic) had had thousands spent on it 140000 on the clock.I paid £1500 and 3 times that had been spent in the last 3 years alone chasing faults round the engine and maintaining the 4 wheel drive...

Ahhh i put more atf in there thought i could give it a quick rise out for a week and change to mtf 94 next week when i do the ird oil.

Living the dream

Cheers ill see if i have one gearbox and sump were easy enough with zero corrosion hopefully ird is the same

Perfect thanks again nodge, those holes look tiny epecially if the plugs are out in that pic. Do you have any idea of outside diameter of the pipe you use thats fits as i will have to get some. Sorry to be so specific but i like to be prepared id be pretty stranded if the pipe wouldnt fit for...

Thanks for the reply, So do you thread the pipe down through to the gearbox fill hole could you please confirm if the screenshot i have from the rave manual is the righ one to identify both filling and drain holes? Thankyou nodge
