    Disco 3 (LR3) ATF fluids

    you going to drop the trans pan and clean that? just drain and refill and if it has a trans filter change that also. By doing a trans flush you stand a good chance of trashing the transmission as it get to clean inside. Spend some time searching the problems what a trans flush causes.

    Are the Serial Numbers on the transmission/engine the VIN?

    Be very careful. All vin numbers have to match in all locations engine has to match also, as well as color to Vin ID, if axles, brakes, or any other items have been changed from the original date of birth for the vehicle........... Customs probably won't release it. But be very careful. Best...
