Cheers...thanks very much all. Really appreciate the quick responses too!
The level should be about 1/3-1/2 way up the CV as the CV itself takes up quite a lot of volume.
In my case I have grease in RRC joints with drain plugs.
Funny I always though the later ones had fill and drain plugs but no level.
Justin methinks they were trying to match Toyota and Nissan service costs as they have had grease since Adam was a boy. Nobody ever seems to complain about their greased CVs.
Mine have been great.

According to my mechanic my model ran a smear of grease only...he is pretty good on his rovers. I just posted a new thread because it wasnt just the CV's but axle issues also in mine...
Cheers
Thats just it, a token gesture of grease in the swivels nearly beats the token gesture of grease I regularly find in late model Defenders etc when servicing their wheel bearings:mad: It's a real problem.Quote:
