Overheating gearbox

Yes thanks for heads up on flushing guys, just dropped it twice was much cleaner second time, pretty sure if overheat re-emerges a cloned tcm is next port of call,
Gear changes are almost undetectable only by watching rev counter, still has a slight niggling vibration somewhere, could be a tyre out of balance or shape in rear or prop centre will see, ride quality is no match for D3 or D4 though
Never had such luxury in a vehicle in my 61 years
Perfect for a trip to Bezier area at some point sorry for late answer, thanks for advice and all the best

Long may it continue mate that it behaves

also really impressed with the D3 gearbox in how smooth it changes and assume the ZF 9 x speed is even nicer

Funny enough heard that in comparison between coils and air suspension in how smooth the air system is, can only imagine what the combination of the air and ZF 8 x speed is in a D5

Of course if it misbehaves just give it the basil fawlty treatment 1-2-3

Yes mate air suspension and bigger sidewalls better for Norfolk, can Greenlane round here going to a friends house or asda Lol
Don't use that method anymore ruined paint, tea and a sit down nowadays
Sport wasn't too bad responded to a bit of love and attention, slightly confusing at times
Good diagnostic is the key would be lost without topdon, thanks guys all the best

U saying that Does remind me some years back of idiots going well off the greenlaning routes by driving right across a farmers cornfield , best bit they got stuck and had to ask the farmer to pull them out , don’t know if they got there vehicles back without any damage

Must confess it’s been a dream of my daughter for me to take her greenlaning and can imagine there being some lovely trails where u are

Indeed mate regarding sidewall sizes , pet peeve when I see in particular rrs that have low profiles fitted , along with of course body kits that would get pulled off going over a speed r strict ion let alone some off roading

Amen to that about diagnostic scanners , , bet the topdon has paid for itself already mate , , sad that many scanners want software updates every year after the first 1-2 x years , my autel ran out last year and as I only work on older landies think I’ll only update it every few years to keep it ticking over

Great the more capable tablet style scanners are available to allow more access for people wishing to work on there own motors , well the older ones that is seeing there becoming more and. more complicated or some dealer only

Saying that some of the tablets that have oscilloscopes built in are silly money or around 2-3k , but of course considerably cheaper than ones in garages that I was once told in excess of 25k

See hantek or pico do some lovely standalone oscilloscopes for 100 upwards , hear the pico are supposed to be very good that have the automobile presets built in

Living in Fenland have had many cars stuck in front lawn
Low profile tyres here feel every bump, won't be taking too off road, but is a lovely thing to drive, much different from our first LR lightweight in winter you need gauntlets, balaclava and coke bottle filled with hot water as a demist although I strangely miss it, then I turned the heated seats up, took it to work last night performed perfectly but fingers remain crossed, missis was on her mobile making a call got in sport and it took over her call, dash began ringing Lol she could only finish her call in sport, it is paired as I use spotify, blimy technology wish I understood
So glad I bought the topdon artilog has been a big help, looking at the new topdon Phoenix would be interested in your thoughts
All the best
