    Hi I'm not too sure how much oil I changed .i used one of those hand pumps to fill the gearbox I think it holds 1 litre and I filled it four times but at the end there was a bit of oil left in it. So I guess 3 3/4 litres.:boom:

    No I was on my own so I filled it then went through gears then stopped it and filled up again . I'm going to do another change using the correct procedure then see what happens.

    When I changed oil it was a bit black but not like a regular oil colour. I changed the filter at the same time. It's better than it was before the oil change but still not right.

    Bumper to bumper and air

    Oh I'm new to the discovery 2 and only just got it. Yep I do have a switch for air suspension but I thought it was only for the rear. I don't have a handbook yet as the car didn't come with one (working on getting one) Had a discover3 before but that had air all round.
