Hi I'm new on here, I have a 1994 discovery tdi I was just wondering where to check the oil level in the gearbox and where to top up as this is my first landrover.

drivers side of gearbox ,torx bit level plug half way up

Only way to check is fill it til it runs out of the hole.

Is it easy to access as I have been under with a torch and nothing stuck out.

Cheers I will take a look tomorrow.

I have still not found the gearbox oil filler plug on my 1994 discovery tdi. Could anybody help me out? Only had it two weeks and loving it. I would just like to check the levels to put my mind at rest.

See post 2 or phone a friend.

Is a torx bit a square headed bolt?

go to user cp and fill in your location there maybe someone just around the corner that can show you

Fella, go to Halfrauds and get the Haynes book of lies.

dont that say 200TDi to you, not 300TDi?

if so - yup a 200TDi has a square lump on the filler plug.

that might be of any use??

Okay thanks. What would be the best gearbox oil to use I hear there are many types. Also do you top up the diffs with the same stuff or something else.

No, transferbox and diffs take EP90.

74jay · Jul 20, 2011

yes ok. But what goes in the gearbox? Also where is the top up plug on the transfer box?

storm99 · Jul 20, 2011

ATF and go and have a look.
