Guys,read the great thread on changing auto box oil but every time I go to check level it drops the 1.1 l of oil starlight out....am I missing something like should the engine be running or the temp is not up to 60' .i checked and each the oil was only at 40'?

Engine should be idling to do the level check. A drive around the block is usually enough to get it up to temp. Some diagnostic gear will indicate oil temp as well. (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal.
