iv heard thats not the case with my model and that there is a specific amount Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )

I'll have to pass on that, never come across that before

I checked the owners hand book first ,and then drained the diff oil into a clear jug.

Then measured said amount of new oil ,and pumped it back into the diff.

thanks

how did you find the job ? easy enough to get access to the diffs ? Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )

Just had a quick look under the car. The front diff I'd covered by the under trays so I had a look at the rear. I can see the drain plug but can find the fill plug anywhere ?  Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )

Front diff can be accessed with the under tray still on sir

Think I will order the oil and get my local garage to change it ( on a ramp ) . Craig is the best way to go about putting the right amount of oil in just to measure the amount that comes out ? Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )

Clean the areas around the plugs then remove filler plug (highest plug) first, remove drain plug (lowest plug) and let the oil drain into a container, basin or whatever you have. replace the drain plug and fill the diff with the appropriate oil until it flows out the filler plug, leave to settle for a few minutes and to allow any excess to drain then replace the filler plug. Job done and should take 15-20 minutes.

This job is easier if the diff oil is warm so take the vehicle for a drive first to heat it up a bit

Thanks. Also how do I know if i have the rear locking diff ? Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )

Absolutely not Mark... You never know if the last person put the correct amount in!

The diffs take an amount of oil... Not fill till it runs out... So, make sure you measure the amount you put into the diff sir

That's the thing, I'm having a problem finding out the quantity of oil the diff requires. As mine is the ajv8 4.4 there seems to be less info out there on these as opposed to the 4.2 sc and td v8 . Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )

Send Dan a PM with your VIN number
