Hi everyone 👋. If you enjoyed this video, here's another one you might like. 😀 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x4RWRbW8tPs.htmlsi=fIlURZXQTlG3Nyu3
Just done this on my freeloader. As you say it's important not to run the engine, just do the change by hand. If you don't spill much of the new fluid three quarters of a litre is sufficient to do the job keeping back say a quarter of a litre for topping up if necessary.
Ha I dropped the large oil pan half full of Auto box fluid. I was doing a Gibbons flush, the car was on a ramp and I was holding the oil tray with one hand. It went all over my jeans. I should have done it with the ramp lower with the oil pan on the floor.
Great video! Good idea about raising both front wheels off the ground to help turn the wheel. I found I had to start the engine for a fraction of a second to get it to transfer the fluid. Do a few three point turns to get any trapped air out. It took a few days for all the air to come out of mine.
Thanks Scott 👍🏻. The service manual actually says to start the engine to flush it through. But it also says to use a funnel that seals the reservoir perfectly and to make sure there is 3 to 4 litres of fluid in the funnel so the reservoir doesn't run dry and do all of the with just 1 person. I'm not sure what perfect world Land Rover thinks we are living in, but that sounds like a recipe for at least 2 litres of fluid to end up on the deck and the reservoir to be empty of any fluid. 😂 After seeing how quickly your reservoir emptied with just cranking the engine over, we thought we'd play it safe and do it without the engines help until the final bleed. 😁 - Scott
Nice and easy explanation also easy to follow this is how did mine back in 2017 and recently on my new 2014 SD4 i did not remove the head light because it is just as easy to do without the light removed, therefore less work, also un-plugging any electrics will create DTC faults that need clearing after, good job guy's
😄. Our theory is, by the time we have replaced everything, it'll be time to replace the bits we did at the very start. 😂 Land Rovers weren't built like your Yamaha was that took you all over New Zealand and Australia. 😄 - Scott
