Transfer box - LT230SE (Lubrication): Description and operation

Lubrication

Lubrication is by splash, oil filler/level and drain plugs being located in the main casing.

Internal pressures caused by thermal expansion and contraction are avoided by the use of a plastic breather pipe venting the interior of the box to atmosphere. The pipe is attached to the top of the high/low selector housing by a banjo bolt and is then routed in a continuously rising path into the engine compartment where the open end is secured by a clip attached to the engine cylinder block.

Oil temperature warning lamp switch An oil temperature switch is fitted to V8 engine models. In the event of the transfer box oil approaching maximum recommended working temperature of 145°C (293°F), the switch will close and a warning lamp in the instrument pack will be illuminated.
