Hi Jamie, greetings from Lieto. I really like your videos, top work. As I also own a land rover series I have a few tips and tricks. Always loosen the fill plug before the drain plug, because its hard to fill the oil afterwards if can't get the fill plug open. I would also change oils in the front hubs/swivel housings oil, steering box and steering relay. Series 3 109'' have a stronger rear axle, its called a salisbury type diff. The front are a rover type diff. Best regards, Jonas
Hi Jonas, Nice to hear from you and thanks so much for your kind comment. Really good points you made and information. I mentioned the filler plug but I had only just realized it was a good idea while doing the last one on the diffs😁 I will look into changing all you have mentioned with the hubs and steering etc. I also learnt today that its a good idea to clean the pressure relief valves in the diffs and gearbox. I'm new to these Land Rovers and really enjoying learning about them. I heard you had a Land Rover and I will have to come and visit. Take care and hope to see you soon. Jamie
Thanks a lot for this: I am about to do the same on an old resto / fixer-upper Here on KZN South Coast. EP 90 in Diffs and swivels too. Ill take a look at your other vids as well. Cheers.
Super that you have found the video helpful and thanks for your comment. Much appreciated. Hope the other videos I have posted are also useful. More to come. Jamie
2.5 litres will be for a rebuilt box which is dry thats why you could only fit 2.3 in and there might of been a bit of variation in the bottles. As long as your on level ground and fill until it comes out your fine. I bought a series 3 truck around April last year and the oils were some of the first jobs that i carried out.
Thank you for your comment. Yes its always nice to change all the fluids on a new purchase. Especially when there is no way of knowing when they were last changed. Jamie
It's super cool and think quite hard to find. Luckily I didn't have to look for it as was given too me. I'm actually going to get the history of the car. I actually met a previous owner last week that is a customer. I didn't know he had owned it. Was also featured in an advert many years ago and looked exactly how it does now 😊
Running the engine isn't going to do much to warm up the tranfer case or diffs. It might warm up the gearbox a bit since parts are spinning but not that much. Taking the vehicle on a short drive (10-20 minutes) will warm up the trans and transfer case.
Yes you're completely right and realized after I had thought about it. I let it drain for a while and change regularly. Defiantly more regularly than it has been 😂 Jamie

Great video, can you tell me what size the copper washers are?
Really glad that you liked it and found it useful. Sorry but I don't know. I have a pack of them In various sizes.
I do love that old manual, did the car come with any history ?

@@jamiedowson6482 good to hear, hopefully the history will go back some years. I love all that

@@jamiedowson6482
defiantly?
@@grahameroberts8109 definitely!
u should have put a magnet in there it does a great job
Also been thinking of doing a transplant to different engine.
u should have a magnet on that drain plug
Unfortunately they didn't have them on this year models I believe. Jamie
