The main casing retains the ATF (automatic transmission fluid) at the bottom. A drain plug is located in the main casing. The oil level is checked by removal of a level plug, with the engine running and the transmission fluid at a temperature...

Spot on mate as indeed it looks like it’s located inside The fluid temperature sensor is integrated into the internal wiring harness within the transmission sensor unit. It detects the Number 4 ATF TCM temperature in the transmission and...

Fingers crossed ur be allowed to plug ur scanner in before buying it Plus see the module is on top of the gearbox The TCM CAN is located on the top of the automatic transmission casing and is connected on the high speed systems bus to send...

You are a legend mate probably wouldn't buy some of this stuff without you on my side thanks will go through it over next day or so Cant resist it mate its black hse, black leather it's also only 30 miles away Dealers dont normally want you to...

Forget that the discovery sport is a completly different gearbox all together. Sensor may still be in the gearbox tho

You ain't upset no one! Am looking forward to finding out exactly how it all works. We can all learn, all the time!:):):)

Will go as normal I expect lots of head scratching, tea, input from @gstuart if there's nothing obvious stage 2 More tea and loud credence then call my mate at LR for guidance Lol usually get my head round it in the end well so far

Will go through it haven't even put diagnostic on it yet, your right was just surmising really but can always hope for a easy fix surely must happen one day, sorry didn't mean to upset anyone

No ramp here either but not an issue as it only leaks when my face is underneath

Changing the one on my TD5 was a right sod, but then I chose not to empty the sump first. Putting the new one in at arm's length through the little access port under the wheel arch, it got very slippy!! No ramp, obvs!;) 🤣

I don't know the disco sport, but a search for the part ought to tell you, or simply a Google search along the lines of "changing the gearbox oil temp sender on a discovery Sport". I cannot imagine that you'd have to take the gearbox apart to...

Yes mate Google says it's in the oil cooler says you need to remove radiator some say you don't will find out I suppose haven't done deal as yet still mulling but is cheap so hard to resist

Mini out of workshop, just cleaned and replaced head gasket in the end seems good replaced completely cooling system fingers crossed pretty sure it had had a head gasket cure added still have stains on my hands Had a shift around 09 fired...

It may all be down to a faulty temp sender unit. The rest is good servicing practice.

Yes thanks mate has done 130k I'm betting without a service do you know is temp sender external?

Hi all another quick question, if you were looking at a discovery sport good condition but gearbox overheats and goes into limp, oil, filter, cooler and a flush first step? checking quality and quantity of old? Worst case scenario second hand box...
