Thanks for that I always go 4x4 height but even then there’s not really enough room. I will try with front of car at top of drive as when I tried it was at the bottom & so a bit down because of the slope.
Thanks again
Tom

| Front and rear diff oil changes |
|
Tagged this on here as the pictorial on procedure from way back is useful.
Another task on the V8 ‘upcycling project’ is diffs we have changed virtually everything else. What a technical minefield on choice of diff oils to use? A big thanks to Tim at Opie and we await the Castro Transmax…. There are now so many oils with GL4 and GL5 my questions of is one better than the other. Very confusing market place GL5 appears to be the key spec. D3 2.7 Zermatt silver (not another one)
D3 4.4 V8 Zambezi silver
D3 4.4 V8 Adriatic Blue
D3 2.7 (gone) Tonga Green
D3 4.4 V8 LHD Tonga Green

I just dug out this thread to remind me how to change the fluids. My first / last post on this thread was October 2013. Here I am 9 years later doing the same jobs to the same 2005 D3. I have also dusted of Bodsey's brake bible to check a couple of things whilst changing the front brake pads.
Not sure if I will be doing this again in another 9 years!
