I love attitude that some people have. buy cheap, take good care of the vehicle and it will last. when you come to sell it you will not loose much on it cuz you've bought it cheap. very sensible.
This is one of the jobs I am saving for warmer, drier weather. I did bottle it on the transmission oil service and paid someone to do though (don't judge me!). Great videos - nicely shot and very clear.
Sensible move. You mess that up and it’s expensive. I think you also need a hoist to run it through the gears in order to circulate new oil to all parts of the transmission and then top off. For peace of mind I think you made the right choice.
Excellent series of DIY videos. I just sold my 2007 and am regretting it, so looking for another good used. These are fantastic vehicles provided you invest in a few tools and do the same type of repairs you have completed. I live in Toronto Canada, so we deal with snow as well. Mine was amazing to drive, like you did most of the service myself. Lots of parts available for these at decent prices, so keeping them on the road is not really that expensive. Had the same brake issues you had, replaced all of them in one afternoon. Suggest you check all of the bushings as well, mine were all shot at about 140,000 kms. Was making clunking noises in the front end until I replaced them. Replace all the ignition coils and plugs if it begins to run rough, easy enough to do in a couple hours. Cheers.
old video I know but when filling the Diffs do not fill up to till it comes out of the fill plug. It is not a level plug.... you need to use the specified amount of oil. Otherwise you are overfilling. its 0.75 litres on the front and 1.14 litres on the rear.
I wouldn’t do this job with out jack stands, my friend was partially crushed when his Range Rover dropped very slowly, so slow in fact he didn’t see it coming. Never rely on air to hold the car up while your underneath, as a min put the jack stands at there lowest setting to get them underneath
Great advice. Definitely don’t work under one of these like I did without some axle stands to protect you. Remember this car is something like 3 tonnes & not worth the risk
I had a “Christine” moment on mine at the weekend. Although it was on a set of front ramps, suspension started adjusting / lowering as I was about to get underneath it. I’m going to get some stands to double up on the safety. They’re too unpredictable a motor to hedge your bets on.
Great video, nicely but no axle stands!!??? A bit dangerous, my RRS drops on the right-hand side. Will be changing the diff and transfer box oil but will use 4 X 3 ton jacks!
Not sure that filling the transfer case until oil leaks from fill hole is the correct procedure. I think it is based on correct fluid volume rather than when it leaks out of filler.
You might struggle to get the full volume in that the workshop manual states, as there will always be some that doesn’t fully drain. Whatever works best for you anyway 👍
Sorry, but a “It’s not the oil you should put in really but I can’t be arsed” is not the right way to treat a vehicle and expect it to be right. You won’t go wrong following JLR’s original spec….

Good call on the coils/HT leads. I’ve not really thought much about the engine so far, as that’s the smoothest thing (at the moment)....
Shouldn't need to worry about coils and it leads on A diesel though .
Oh yeah 🙄

Well done!
I am impressed how you manage to do this without lifting the car, really not easy.
I should add that it’s important (vital) to place axle stands underneath to protect from unexpected air suspension failure 👍

It’s a good point & I agree - better practice is to use axle stands to protect yourself 👍
Need help
I have niose on the rear differential for my Range Rover sport 2009
What I should do? Change oil for differential or change the diff?
Good Jop if you’ve got noise, it might be too late to change the oil, most likely need a new diff
How many litres oil for transfer case? Thank you
Shell TF 0753; 1.5 litres, (2.6 pints, 1.5 quarts) according to Workshop Manual for model year 2006.
Not sure that filling the transfer case until oil leaks from fill hole is the correct procedure. I think it is based on correct fluid volume rather than when it leaks out of filler.
Look it up
Nut Job The LR workshop manual uses volumes.
You might struggle to get the full volume in that the workshop manual states, as there will always be some that doesn’t fully drain. Whatever works best for you anyway 👍
Get yourself a collection of buckets for your used fluids
I tend to use old milk containers & take them to my local recycling centre when there’s enough of them 👍
I save the screenwash containers. damn gearbox oil smells bad !
@@robbo1967 you could use some of your old oil for rust prevention.

Just remove the video pal. You put other idiots into danger.
