Hi
I used 100ml syringe and piece of plastic tube one suck and sifted out and then refilled with syringe as not enough room to get bottle up there :dance:

Gearbox oil = MTF94, IRD and Rear diff = Syntrax Universal oil (used by my local Landrover Dealer) as long as it meets the Freelanders recommendations (Intermediate Reduction Drive
Texaco S5 75W90; Specification: API GL5
Rear Differential
Texaco Multigear 80W-90 ETL 7441; Specification:
API GL5)

IRD plug is hard to get too and Landrover use a special offset tool....prob help warming her up a bit on a run to make the plugs easier to remove.
