FILTER .... NO (or yes see chris post below)
FILLER..... YES A SQUARE FILLER PLUG, NOTHING SPECIAL.

thanks mate

[ChrisW70]

Yes there is a filter on the disco LT77 box, on the bottom of the box there is a large flange bolt, undo this (with the box drained obviously!) and there is a mesh filter inside. Only worth doing once in a blue moon though.

Or...

Yes, as Saffy said, the filler plug is just a square headed plug.

Got one here as well if you need to borrow it Kev, oh & a pit to stand in while you undo it  :thumbup:

[discoarden]

just a quick one but how do you por the oil in silly little space up the side there?

[stretchy]

transfer the oil into one of them little botles with the long nozle on the top and you can fit it up the gap then.

thanks is that the only way will have to check it now
