I couldn't find the exact amount that they take. I was just going to measure exactly how much comes out and put the same amount back In. Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE ) |

Where my Defenders spend long durations on motorways the rear axle gets hot and then cold at night the condensation water in my oil is horrid, every 24thou milky soup taken out. If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

Did my front and rear ages ago not long after I started with it so before 130k and now on 150k and it was horrid stuff! Ended up at the local recycling place. Hate to think where it all ends up... FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Sorry if I've missed this but I read reference to someone saying it's easier to do this on a ramp, as you might expect. If DIY though, is access to the front and rear diffs easy and safe enough to do this job with the car just on axle stands?

you could possibly do this in off road height with the correct precautions but i'm sure someone [craig?] said that the FF has to be level so one end on axle stands wont work..

A short drive of say 10-15mins should get some heat into them or just use a blow torch to gently heat them up. Then just use an ice cube on each of the nuts to cool them more than the rest of the diff and this can help removal of stubborn ones 😊 FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Stan is right, a drive will warm up the diffs |

Like anything blowtorch related, it takes care and not a gung Ho clarkson style approach |

Any idea what the difference in quantity of oil is between the set amount they're meant to take and the filler point...?
