I have the same model as yours what Gearbox oil are you using? also what are you using for the rear Diff? I've done the transfer case and will do the haldex service soon with a Haldex kit

Glad my video helped!

How did it go? Glad my vids are useful.

Good idea! I didn’t think of removing that. The oil still came out a bit too fast for me though!

Thanks 👍

I’m not sure. Auto is quite different and really needs professionally flushing.

Pretty sure my gearbox drain plug didn’t have a washer on it either

This is 75W90. This is the correct oil for the manual gearbox. The diffs are different...all three diffs use different oil.

I've looked and Halfords saying mvmtf but 75. Not 75w90. And the straight 75 also match for original bot 350 m3 oil

@@johnwyatt2316 Just in case anyone else is reading this slightly confused this is a note to clarify things. For the manual gearbox pre-2011 models (like Scott's) the LR specification in Castrol MTF 97309. This is a 75w90 grade oil as is mentioned in the video. For post 2011 models the LR specification is Castrol BOT 350 M3. This is a 75w single grade oil.

Gearbox is same way round as mine on left and right hand drive. Mine is a diesel so always sounds like a diesel!

Yes, manual. Auto is different and needs power flushing at a garage. Quite expensive from what I’ve heard.

Is it not a threaded hole with a short bolt in from the other end?

Look up part number LR002748

Change the gearbox oil. It is overdue and you will notice an improvement. Smoother gear change,

@@BeavisPits Thank you so much. i recently replaced it with dexron 3. gear shifts softened. Should I replace it with jws3309 instead of dexron 3?

All fine after my gearbox oil change. Mine is manual. Auto may be different.

You should change your oil every 60,000 miles! Don't change it if you've done over 100,000. This will likely ruin your transmission. Might as well keep your oil in there until the transmission goes. It'll do more bad than good

I can’t see how this could possibly be the case. New oil would always be a good thing. The gearbox felt much better afterwards and is still running fine.

@@BeavisPits if you wait to long, there will be particles of transmission in the fluid. These particles act like sandpaper and keep the trans from slipping. if you swap out all that with Super clean fluid, theres a good posibility it will slip.

I think you are talking about an automatic gearbox. Mine is a manual. Auto box is completely different and needs a power flush. This is much more involved and quite expensive. Not something the home mechanic can easily do.

Yes, I find it too, but put that down to worn baulk rings, mine has done 155k miles

@@BeavisPits I moved over to Febi oil and it now works as it did before hand!

My wheels are 17”. Tyres are 245/70R17

Mine is a manual so I asked the facebook group if anyone knew how to do an auto fluid change. Joe Hodgson from JAS Land Rovers (www.jas-lr.co.uk) responded with... “There are drain and fill points but unfortunately only about 40-50% the fluid can drain at any time as the rest is held in the torque converter, valve block, and the oil cooler and pipes. The best way to replace all the fluid in one hit is with a machine - sometimes called a megaflush or transmission flush machine. Draining and refilling via the drain and fill points between 5 and 6 times with fresh fluid every time achieves about the same but costs around 3x as much in fluid alone.”

Thank you very much for the effort and reply! Perhaps I’ll fill and empty it myself driving it in between fluid changes although that sounds like it might take a long time and cost more then getting a garage to do it 🤷‍♂️

Gear change was definitely smoother, not so clunky and crunchy

No, because I’m doing this at home and only have two ramps

I’ve topped it up but not done a full change. On my list of jobs to do.

No, auto needs a power flush £££

It was coming from the duct joint on top the engine. See my air intake video.

I would change it. Mine was working fine but after changing the oil the gear changes felt a lot smoother.

@@BeavisPits yours is a manual? Mines an auto, will it be similar? I wonder.

No, it is different. I’ll be doing the transfer case oil soon.

Ok look forward to that. I've got a rumble groaning sound when I come off power in gear. Maybe transmission?

Manual

Coming soon!

Beavis Pits what a guy, I’m stuck in decisions between modifying my FL2 or finding the cash to have one of those for my weekend toy 😂 Good video on changing the oil, looking at doing a major service my soon, where did you find your sump guard?

@@BeavisPits Good video, lesson learnt not to use one of those oil catch tanks, used one once never again, prefer to use a normal household plastic sink bowl from any pound shop.
