Clutch fluid, grease the nipples in various places.
My s3 automatically flushes ep90 from all 'sealed' parts of the drivetrain on to my drive. Funnily enough this is pretty much how vw gets away with 'longlife' service intervals; thinner engine oil gets past rings burns off you top up with fresh every month and that means a 20000 mile oil change. Land rover were there 30 yrs ago

.....not forgetting at least 2 pints of hopped and fermented maltose solution, applied to the driver after any long journey. Leave to stand for 6 to 8 hours before driving.

If you don't know the history of the landy then it would probably be worth draining and re-filling. You'll get to see the state of the EP90 that comes out (hopefully no teeth in it!). Drain plugs on the bottom of each, and you'll see the filler plug half way up the side of the gear box / transfer box. You would be best to buy something like a toledo suction pump - makes filling most landy fluids a lot easier. Do the filling by laying under the left hand side of the landy. (obvious safety rules apply).

Have a look at Busters photo tour - it's damn good if you need to know where the ins and outs of the various 'boxes' are!
