thanks again, ill do the lot at the weekend,better to be safe than sorry then at least i know that it's been done.

cheers mate thanks, iv'e only had my disco a couple of months and done the normal things engine service including timing belt bits and bats now to move on to gearbox and diffs, thanks again. If i change it every year doing average miles would that suffice ?

i'm now even more confused.com lol 2 different opinions.

Disco 300tdi manual i need to change the gearbox oil but not sure which oil to use, someone told me that it is atf but that doesn't sound right and do they have a filter in them?

hi, before you spend money on a new battery try the main earth lead at the back of the battery ive had a few problems and after some sound advice found it was nothing more than a bad earth. ps i put a new earth wire on to the body as well

hey up mate, ive been using new vo for a while now proberly done a couple of thousand mile with no problems as yet, i started off 50% oil 50% derv straight into the tank, ive never used wvo cos that stuff does smell like chips cooking, if you run on bio you can run on 100% although i would still...

Cheers mate might be worth a look on e-bay, ive only ever used new stuff you never know whats been cooked in the old stuff and has it been filtered right in the first place???

Costco 93p per litre bought it today, happy days!

Greetings people, just been to Costco wholesalers and got 45lts of veggie oil to use in my disco 300tdi it works out at 93p per litre, currently running about 70 % oil 30% derv and not a problem in fact its running better now than ever and more responsive.

No, probably didn't explain myself. When you take out the indicator lens there are 2 bulbs 1 is the indicator and then there is another 1 that looks like a side light bulb. Why would you put a side light in the indicator???

Greetings, cleaned the earth today and replaced the one to the body, lights and indicators are now working perfect, thanks for the advice it is appreciated just 1 more question why is there side light bulbs in the indicators???????????????

Thanks for asking the question my disco has same problems, i'll try the earths first. was going to get a auto electrician out but i might save a few quid, cheers!

Called to a garage in Leeds who claim to specialize in auto transmission and quoted between £800 and £1000 to replace a sticky valve for my disco 2.5 tdi. told them not to bother could buy another gearbox in fact could buy another disco for that, total rip-off.

Thanks, changed the ATF today and the old stuff that came out was very dark red in fact nearly brown and did smell of burn nothing like the new fluid i put in. I'm delighted to say that seems to have done the trick drives totally different now, thanks again for the advice. think it might be...

Thanks mate will do that at the time ill get my brother to give me help cheers mate!
