NOPE. . . .

Done
No probs other than the old oil was a bit milky looking for only 3,000 miles
Used Castrol Syntrax 75/90 semi synthetic this time

No change in transmission noise

Just got my first freelander and plan to change the IRD oil. Bit puzzled as to why a couple of folk asked if it was any quieter after.

Surely it would be if there was none or not enough oil in to start with but changing it shouldnt make a difference should it. Or am I missing something?
