Disco 2.5TDI Loosing Water...

Hi all, I'm new to the Forum and have already had a look around previous posts but have a few problems with my Disco that could do with Advice on please.

Please note: It's my first Disco and only had it a few days.

Problem 1: The Engine Starts, Runs Excellent, Shows no signs of overheating but is loosing water. roughly a kettle full today, done about 40 miles. The Temp is sitting at just under half way and the water tank is hot to touch but not boiling. Oil Level low but not under the mark.


you either got a water leak or ya head gasket is fooked, check for water round any water pipe an the water pump,

Can you suggest anything and how to go about it... It's a little sluggish on first and second until the turbo kicks in and goes like a rocket through the rest of the gears. Reaches 70 quite smooth. It's M Reg and done apparently 171000.

well its about 2 tons, an takes some winding up, next post will be why is the fuel consumption crap
if ya wanted fast should of brought a car

Also what is fuel consumption like, Put 25 Quid in and got about 175 Miles?

25- 35 mpg depends how ya drive it, expect about 28-30 though

Problem 2. The Engine won't switch off with the key, have to stall it. It was ok when I picked the Jeep up.

not sure about the engine not switchin of but ffs DONT call it a jeep on here unless ya want rippin to bits

Problem 3. When changing up into second it grinds slightly but a double clutch seems to let it engage smoothly.


gearbox or transfer box is about fooked

Any Help / Advice would be greatly received.


Many thanks,


Anthony.
