Strictly speaking it was yesterday but I changed the oil in the final drive units. Rear wasn't bad but the front was a grey emulsion. No sign of oil getting past the seals and the breather is fine yet it looks like water got in. I have done a lot of wading this winter. Looks like that might explain the noisy front diff. Unfortunately it has got quieter with new oil but still whining.

Give it a fortnight and change again, was there much silver dust in the slime ?

Not much. I did give it a bit of a flush until it ran clear.

Seems to be OK. Nothing above the wheel arches. Bit of a mystery. I'll have a more thorough look next time I am under there.

If you want reliable then don't look at any Range Rovers. Buy a Lexus RX.
