Gearbox Flushing

Hi All,

There is a lot of discussion on Disco 3 re gearbox Mega Flushes.
I have just done a quick search here and no mention of it so is this not sometime required on an F2?

Mine has done 70k miles so was thinking it may be time to get some preventative fluid changes although it does have a full main dealer service history to date. I am def up for getting Haldex fluid and filter change and getting the Diff oil changed at the same time.

Not sure about the need to do the Auto box though Confused

Thoughts?

Clearly not too many thoughts then Smile

I have had the Haldex fluid and filter plus Diff oil changed last Fri by Austen at Bell Engineering.

I am planning to change the ATF fluid when I next do an oil service.
Just on a drop ATF and refill with same amount basis using genuine LR fluid. Freelander 2 2012 HSE Auto SD4 Ipanema Sand

I am draining and refilling with the same amount (aprox. 3 liters) at each service since the 70.000 km service. Just like Robbie's doing.
The box is holding about 7 liters and therefore I am changing about 40% of the oil every 10.000 km / 1 year and keeping it relatively fresh this way.
