Post by: Omegatoy on 04 April 2013, 19:45:48

been servicing and sorting a toyota rav 4 today, all done and now runs poperly,with no knocking from suspension,(jacked it up and the strut fell out!!but left the top mounting still bolted firmly to the bodywork)
but I cannot for the life of me se the transfer box filler plug! book says to undo the plug and feel the level of oil, but although the drain plug is clearly visible i cannot see the filler plug from the top or botom,anyone know where its located?????

Total capacity of gearbox & transfer box is just shy of 5 litres
