Ok, change all done, what a mess i made! The oil was thick and grey, so I think it was in need of a change, now it changes smoother and quicker however I still struggle to get up hills on the motorway at any more than 50 without a good run up!

Indeed! Having just spent the last 3 afternoons changing my shocks and brakes all round (and breaking the turret studs too... which was a pain in the ass!) I may aswell make it 4 afternoons and do the gearbox too! Thanks for the video link by the way, very helpful and from what he said it sounds...

Yea after watching that I think i'll give it a bash, its done a whopping 220,000 by the way, still runs fine, apart from the sluggish gears! Paul

Ive been looking at a few other threads with regards to changing my gearbox oil. My disco seems to have got pretty sluggish of late and I was wondering if it may be in need of a gearbox oil change, not sure when it was done last as I have only had it about 3 months so I want to do it anyway...

Cheers Redhand! - I may give that one a go if it ever happens ago, although hopefully I wont get any more confrontations! Marcus - Its in Weston, near Petersfield. Checked the Hants council online RoW map and its marked as a BOAT on there and checked the TRO's and its not listed, however it is...

I'll have a look tommorow, but i did have a quick look today and the case did seem quite rusty, hopefully the hole is only small but if not i guess i'll have to replace it, anyone got any ideas how much id be looking at to get it replaced? Cheers, Paul

Hi Guys, Just Got myself a 300tdi Discovery, L Reg, 212k (yea i know its high but it was cheap and has a good service history)... However I have just noticed that there is oil running down the rear diff seems to be coming from above/on top of the diff, any ideas what this could be/how to fix...

Cheers for that, This one does have "loads of receipts" apparently so ill take a look at them and see what has been done, the thing is im looking to put most of those extras on (all as part of my 2k budget, tall order i know!) so if this has got them all and is in fairly good nick, im tempted...
