hello all .
my wife owns a disco 1 300tdi manual . she had some problems with the clutch recently and had work done on it at a localgarage . before she had the work done she notified the garage of some vibration from underneath the vehicle and was told it was probably the clutch . when the car came back to her (after spending over £300 on clutch) the vibration was still very evident , so i changed the rear prop donut and front prop uj's which solved the vibration problems .
what worries me though , is that when i was under the vehicle i noticed that a rather large hole had been cut into the bellhousing with a grinder , i can actually fit my whole hand inside , and the car seems to be dropping oil all the time and when the car is reversing , it drops red oil which looks like ATF fluid ?? . also , there is next to no power anymore . this disco used to pull like a train , now it struggles to climb any sort of incline unless kept in 3rd or lower .
just in front of where the hole has been cut , there are two threaded holes ( 1 is horizontal facing toward the front of car and 1 is vertical ) which look like they should be plugged ??
any ideas guys ? we live in a rural area and my wife and kids really are stuck without it .
