I'm new to this Land Rover thing having collected my first one this weekend (1980 Series III).
Not being known for my mechanical prowess, I am embarresed at being stumped by the simplest of things...
A note on the dash tells me to check the overdrive oil weekly by using the overdrive dipstick....
Being a dipstick myself, I do not know where to find it.
Can someone tell me please?
Hahahahahaha... most of us check our oil levels by eyeing up the driveway

Yeah easiest way to check the oil level is.....how much is on the driveway. Ain't got overdrive Blue, so can't really help ...sorry But it does work good on the other levels tho' Pity about the condition of the driveway getting a bit slippy..... (more like a Kuwaiti oilfield)....

Yeah
Open the trap door under the centre seat, the overdrive is underneath bolted on the back of the gearbox.
Over the far side, (if you sitting in the driver seat) is a filler nut to unscrew.. thats also got the dipstick on it!
I check mine about once in a blue moon, its never gone down!

The nut is the big one sat on the top on it's own. My understanding, is that you undo the nut, wipe the dipstick and sit it back on top of the threads and check the level against the notch.
Hi all how easy is it to fit the above to a 1973 s111
thanks all

Except if it starts to, as it did in mine, there's so little oil in there that it all goes very quickly and then the o/d goes bang. BTDT done the re- build. :-(

Land Rover fluid levels Ruler Number 1 If it ain't leaking it's probably empty.
