    Gear Box had it. 02 td5

    Dearest Landrover Brains trust,

    Was doing a gearbox oil change today. When I noticed there was no oil in the box!!!!!!!!!! Went to fill and it poured out of a hole Possible crack in the housing. See Photo attached. Can I weld it up and see how it goes?

    Thanks

    Paul

    Going by your photos, I think perhaps you were trying to drain oil out of the bell housing (which shouldn't have oil in it) and filling the same. The plugs shown in the photos are wading plugs. The gearbox drain and fill points are much further back along the gearbox.
    Do you have a RAVE disc or other workshop manual?

    they are indeed the blanking plugs for the bell housing.

    the drain for the gearbox is further back. on the right hand side

    At least you know there's a good chance the gearbox is alright.

    I'm guessing, but others may respond with a big NO, that you can spray brake cleaner or contact cleaner in there but there may be a bearing that you have to be careful not to dry out with the spray. Hopefully you don't have to pull it apart to clean it.
    Fingers crossed someone has a solution.
