one shot, hahah what ever, they must be having a larf ,, it will natruly come out of the seals, an then not to make it a service item???

Thanks all...I dont have time to fiddle with it..its at the shop and is greased up/will be greased up. So...how do I do the check at home every say 40,000k to see what it happening with the grease or sooner if doing a lot of water/mud/dusty off roading?

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
