Help needed quick I've a small oil leak around the gearbox and now the gears are near impossible to change. Need to know what is the best oil to fill it back up with and how much do i need, plan to empty the gearbox and put new stuff in, I'm sure the leak is from the sump plug
TD5 Gear box oil HELP!

Hi John,
I assume it is a TD5 defender. Just to use the right book. This is from teh Defender 02MY handbook.
Make sure you can take out the filling plug, before you take out the drain plug.

Thank you for your reply, now I know were the Drain plug is not sure about the Filling plug, yup your right Its a TD5 Defender 2003 and I'm a muppet for not servicing it properly but in my defence I've only had it under a year and I've been really busy with other jobs.

Plus you need to make sure you have a way of filling the gearbox.
I used a new 5 litre garden pressure spayer.

Why I've been told this is the same stuff just different manufacturer?
Ok having real problems here. I cant get the filler plug undone on the gear box T55 torx, I've rounded it off now. But I'm wondering if it is lack of oil in the gear box thats causing the problem. I cant change gear when engine running, but can when switched off. There is a little bit of bite when I put it in to gear then switch engine on but not enough to move it, help me please I got alone of garage space tonight to fix it under the promise I'd be gone by morning
