Strange, I was planning to do my transfer box on my Disco 2 this weekend as well, until mother nature reminded me that I have a leaking sunroof

Make sure you have a supply of good thread lock / sealant to go round the drain plugs, the transfer box on mine was serviced before I bought it, and now leaks through the drain plug as it wasn't sealed properly with thread lock....
