excellent write up
it is a bit messy, i have the luxury of a 4 post lift but the constant dripping when the sump is off is a bit of a pain and is difficult not to get some oil on yourself
i note the colour of the fluid which was the same as mine { 95000 miles ] , to date i have changed my fluid 3 times as you cant empty the torque convertor , my fluid is a lot cleaner but its certainly not the colour of the new fluid going in 1990 3.5 v8 defender

Just to add one thing, once you have drained the sump put the plug back in and run the car for a few seconds, do this a couple of times and you will prob get another litre out of the box, if you have no apparent leaks measure how much came out and this is roughly what needs to go back in. One day your life will flash before your eyes......................................make sure yours is worth watching!

That was a truly excellent technical thread!

I'm used to changing oil in my 110's and Series gearboxes, so am used to the messy bit. Never changed oil in an auto before and was always perturbed by disconnecting the selector mechanism.

I do believe your write-up has reinstated my confidence.  Si. <This is my name.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

excellent write up sir and great how to for reference,

I might have a go at this myself having read that,last 2 times I got a specialist to do it but they certainly know how to charge for it over here in Eire.

Excellent work

nice service, are interesting also any blue you used, where to be found?

Many thanks for your kind responses....with the cost of garages nowadays it makes sense to try these things ourselves....and I am glad it helps others to save some cash...!!

Sorry Madcima, I am not sure I understand your question....maybe you could rephrase it please? 

I'm sorry, basically, I want to buy those ramps blue as you used, I wanted to know where I could find it

The Ramps I got from a company in the UK called Machinemart...

Can be had from the bay of e or a local Auto Factors mine cost £50 a pair. 

another great write up, you should change your name to ,Haynes  V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.
1976 Harley Davidson Iron Head Sportster

I was a bit worried about those ramps, what weight rating do they have? Per axle / per ramp ? .
