Gearbox flush

Had my gearbox flushed today (ZF 6HP26) at Keith Gott Landrover near Alton. This is at 90,560 miles, I think it's the first time the gearbox oil's been changed and it was well due to be done, picture of sample drained from the box prior to flushing:



They flushed and filled the box using a Wynn's megaflush machine, it took 12 litres in total which includes an allowance for the flushing which is then discarded. Here's what the new oil should look like (on the right side, thanks to RRPhil for this figure):



Total cost £534.47 and the usual swift, friendly service from the Keith Gott service team. I was getting the occasional shunt on downshifts, so it will be interesting to see what the difference now is. I'll repeat the process along with a filter change when the Rangie hits 125,000 miles.

Oil service

Found time today to give the old girl an oil service:



Next up is to give the paintwork a polish, and treat the underside and subframes with Lanoguard (and Dinitrol ML for the cavities).

Time for some more routine maintenance

Following on from the recent gearbox rebuild carried out by Stephens Engineering in Ware (500 miles on the rebuilt gearbox so far and it's working perfectly), it's time to carry out an oil service and a few other maintenance items that are overdue. For planning maintenance I found it useful to put all the normal tasks on a summary sheet, so I can keep a track of what's due when. Here is the latest version of this:

I'm planning on doing:

- Engine oil/filter change
- Engine air filter change
- Cabin air filter change
- Supercharger oil change
- BG44K fuel system cleaner
- PAS fluid flush (probably using the syphon out & refill method)

I'll take a few photos as I go for the thread here. Once I've done the above, I'll still need to do:

- Brake fluid change (will probably wait until I fit overhauled/repainted Brembo calipers on the front, I have spares from my old TDV8 which should fit)
- Replace thermostat and all coolant hoses (preventative maintenance)
- Fuel filter replacement (preventative maintenance)

I had a good go at inspection for rust and retreating/repainting/greasing the sills and rear arch lips last winter, so will probably also have a look at the other problem areas highlighted in the recent Youtube L322 rust spots video - things like front sub frame, brake lines behind front wheel arch etc. Again, I'll take some photos as I go.

All good clean (well not really) fun keeping our L322 Rangies tip-top!
