Gearbox update
Hopefully I have cured my gearbox oil leak, it seems as though the leak was due to either a cracked or faulty seal on the transmission sump, I fitted a new one on the weekend, what a cow of a job
took me most of the weekend the main culprits being the relining up of the two RH engine mount bolts. I guess if there is a next time the experience will help me do it in a few hours.
I still have a leak but it is very tiny, could yet be some residue in the bell housing.
Good news is that I can now plan some 4 wheel driving
As a further piece of information, the oil used in these boxes is ESSO ATF 71141, a very good oil which in fact is stated as being a "for life" oil, the cost of this oil at LR dealers is approx $80 a litre, the same oil is also a part for both BMW and VW, both at less than $30 a litre, part no's are BM-88881700546X and G052162A2 respectively
