| Well, my daughter and I took about an hour and a quarter this afternoon to fit the CARABC kit. It really was very straightforward (although having fitted an Xtrons one in my own FL2 and an Integrated ... |

| Thanks again. The methodology is clear enough even if the description in the manual isn't quite accurate. |

Thanks for the bolt size.
My point about the test method was that IF the level was correct, then wouldn’t all the half litre flow out again? The manual suggests that if you add half a litre “a ... |

| And a related question - the LR manual says that to check the fluid level you add half a litre of fluid, get the fluid to the right temperature, cycle through the gears and then, with the engine idlin ... |

Thanks again, jules. I’d got distracted by your additional comments about multiple drain and refills - apologies.
My problem is that the garage who did a drain and refill on my daughter's car sa ... |

Thanks. And no difference in this respect between the early and late gearbox (apart from the ATF)?
Presumably the level determination is done in the same way? |

Thank you both.
There are indeed two different ATF specifications for the early and late box. And I’d agree, it will take the best part of 10 litres to do a full change by the drain and refill m ... |

| A local garage did a drain and refill of ATF on my daughter's 2013 FL2. How many litres would you expect to need to do the refill? Is it different to the earlier auto box which, as I recall, needs abo ... |

| Thanks! I found this video of a CARABC install and it doesn’t look too bad - https://youtu.be/muIlZJQJuPM?si=j7vRSVHdATGRwzRT - no worse than my Xtrons install in my FL2 a couple of years ago. 🤞 |

I bought this cable a few years ago from a Chinese supplier and let me say categorically that, despite the stickers on it, it is NOT a genuine Drew Technologies Mongoose cable.
That said, it worke ... |
