No real sense from the oil selectors. So Manual asks for DIID or DIII. AQM fits DIID, AQ3 fits DIII but then according to 2 sites its not recommended. Looking like the AQM then, at least that matches the DIID.

Oh weird. After settling on a DIII, I thought I would double check a few oil selector sites and Halfords says it is not recommended to use AQ3 and recommends AQM as I originally said. Comma's oil selector says the same. JGS4x4 sell a service kit with the filter and 10 litres of AQM. Things are...

Thanks guys. Going for the Comma Dex 3, they make reasonable products and are in the UK, plus the Dex 3 seems to be the way to go.

Comma Aq3 says "Dexron® II; Dexron® IID; Dexron® IIE; Dexron® III" and is semi-synth for £28 for 5L. Could be the one, but still hunting for others, not necessarily the cheapest.

The Comma data sheet says "Dexron® B; Dexron®II; Dexron®IID". It does not mention DIII. Maybe better off looking for DIII like the other guys say..... Cheers

Hi guys I am thinking of doing a fluid change in the auto gearbox. It's been about 5 years, so due for a change, and a new filter. Are the gearboxes R380s? it's a 1996. The owner's manual says DexIID or III. I am thinking of Comma AQM which is a mineral ATF and claims to be DexIID. I cannot...

Hi All Just a quick update on this. I can still recommend this repair/upgrade. It's been running like this for about 8 years now and just recently started making grumbling sounds. However, it is still running. Rebuilding the other one donated to me with new bearing plus some new seals and...

Oooooooooooooooooooo. looks like it is maybe best to go with Dexron II and not III. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/transfer-box-oil-dexron11d-or-dexron-111.133952/ Or is that just the transfer box? But: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/auto-atf-dexron-2-or-3.200035/

I just squirted with my preferred penetrating oil (whichever I find to hand) and rocked mine back and forth until it loosened up, also used a length of wood to pry the whole thing. I went for a new Voltage regulator on mine as the alternator itself was fine (not bad for a 24-year-old Magneto...

I just wanted to share the good news. My faithful 1996 4.6 HSE has made it through another MOT. One advisory, drag link closest to the steering box has some excess play. Ordered a new one ready to fit once I can find the time. Gone for the full drag link (instead of just the end) as I suspect...

News, it's fitted. The VR, no new diode pack installed. Just cleaned up slip rings and in general. Instantly 14.2V rising to 14.5v and just at idle, not at 2K and not tested on load with headlights. I was already impressed enough at the increase in volts. PLUS, my "alternator fault" message...

Just a quick update on my situation. Partly for the sake of an update, partly as I noticed my post count is 666 :eek: and so I thought it best not to leave it there too long. My voltage measured at the battery terminals @ 2000 rpm is 13.8V and slowly rises to 13.9V.but does not go above. I...

I was hoping somebody could have replied to your query because I cannot. Best email Dave at Mid-Ulster Rotating Electrics Ltd if you know the make you have.....

That is what I am going to do. It's an easy job to take it off compared to what I just went through on my Jag. At least I can remain standing. :-)

Excellent, yes David from Mid-Ulster Rotating Electrics Ltd has just confirmed that too. A new one ordered. Thanks for your help with that. Cheers

Thanks. It looks like the VR does not come with brushes. With the mileage I have maybe it is worth replacing the brushes too. What do you think? Cheers

I have just seen the other replies about maintaining the original. It certainly makes sense, cheaper and maintains the higher quality part. Looked a the link but they do not seem to have the VR when searching by vehicle. Will spend more time looking........

I have just found Island 4x4 do AMR2938G - A genuine Denso for £116+VAT. Seems a good price.

Well with the message of "Alternator Fault" combined with quite high mileage and possible low voltage (its not here to double check) then it sounds like I am probably best advised to buy a new one. Back to the original question. Can anybody recommend any particular make? I can get the...

Its got about 139,000 miles on it. Voltage out last I checked was maybe 13 to 13.5v.Current alt says A127M.
