I have been speaking to my Indy L Rover garage about gearbox oil changes and he said they drop the old and then refill and run it for 20 miles before doing it again . Sounds OK to me . Mines booked in for it next week .. |

Thanks, last night I just noticed that the RR is holding back whilst coasting so I tried low range and it had very clunky gear changes. It's a 2005 and done 149,000 I'm hoping a filter & fluid change is in time to save the box |

Be aware that you only get just over half the fluid out by just draining the sump. So you need to do several changes in order to get close to 100% clean oil.

That's why I am thinking I will do an oil change on its own, then after running that for a week I will drain it & then fit the new filter and change the oil again. I've not read of anyone doing this way that's way I thought I would ask the question |

Sorry Dr Meat I forgot to add that my garage said they would clean out the oil cooler pipes too as part of the gearbox service . Filter change too, of course. Hope all goes well for you. |

Don't think they need cleaning out, if they do then your gearbox is defo toast.... what happens is that they collapse and prevent oil circulating, they can look fine on the outside but the inner layers collapse.... if you have trouble with gearbox overheat then just change them...

You can get close with a power flush but you have to pay someone to do it, buy a 20ltr tub of oil and you get darn close.... and it's cheaper.....

All you do is disconnect a cooler pipe at the front.
