Hello,
I only have my disco2 (2002 - facelift) TD5 Auto since a month or so.
I wanted to check if my auto gearbox had enough oil in it.
(The filter is underway, but didn't want to wait with the check)
Undoing the fillerplug first, as every manual indicates, there was already oil running out of it.
I drove it from the front of the house, to the garage in the garden (50m). So the oil was not warm or anything. The ground was level (I even double checked).
Only way this can be done (overfilling it) is by doing the oilchange via de cooler, not? Not really something an amateur would do.
The car was in P with the handbrake on.
I have let it drip all out. In total 1,5 liters come out.
Did I do something wrong?
Could there be I reason for overfilling the gearbox? (masting an failure when they sold me the car?)
Could this have caused errors that I've at least driven like this for a month? (I don't know how long the previous owner was already driving like this)
Thanks,
Koen
