Gear / Transfer box oil

Filler plug is on the side of the gear box and the transfer box, both are accable from under the vehicle ISTR they are 1/2 inch square socket plug, but they could be a 6 spline socket plug.

Ive just changed the oil in my 90 gearbox & transfer case. getting the stud out from underneath is the "easy" part - filling is another thing!!

If the RR is anything like the 90, remove the centre tunnel - makes life MUCH easier when it comes to filling her up again.

Also, before draining make sure you can get the filler plug out - they have been know to seize in place.

Yeah, I resorted to a mate , and a long flexible tube from a funnel at bonnet height, all the way down under the floor, and up into the hole, worked ok as well, although I did spill a tiny bit once it was full :0)

Not sure about 90s or Classics, but on the Disco I found an oil syringe was indispensible, only a few quid from the motor factors.

The emergency backup is an old washing up bottle. Takes a bit longer but better than nowt.

I use a large 60mm hypodermic syringe from the vet (£2?). Get one with the large nozzle and then a length of plastic tube to slip over the end. Works a treat -- except for the inevitable dribble that runs down your sleeve!

I used a garden killer spray with the nozzel removed, pump it up to full pressure and use the valve to control the flow.
