    Ace valve block leaking

    I'm not sure if the OP has a major leak or just a weeping pipe. Mine has had a slight moistness around the valve block that requires an occasional top up to the Ace resevoir.

    Gearbox, Diff and Transfer box oils

    Gearbox, Diff and Transfer box oils

    Smith & Alan MTF94 seems ok so far. First drive with new oil ang gear change is nice and smooth from cold. The supposed MTF94 I took out was dirty red?

    Gearbox, Diff and Transfer box oils

    I ordered 5L of MTF94 & 8L of 75/90 on weds arrived today. All for less than buying 6L 75/90 from Halfords. Excellent price and service. Just need the product to be as good.

    Gearbox, Diff and Transfer box oils

    New Disco arriving on Saturday

    There is one name that crops up all the time for getting a remap done on this forum, I believe he did mine before I bought it - Mike from Dynachip. Not that expensive and he comes to you.

    LT230 Transfer Box Leak - replacement bolts

    I have similar oil droplets around the bolts on my transfer box. Is it common for the bolts to leak and why is there one stud in there?

    New Disco arriving on Saturday

    Looks smart from the pics, If the mechanics are as good you have a nice motor there Will. Your friend is referring to getting the ECU chipped or re-mapped.

    Buying my first Discovery. What else to check?

    Personally I'd be wary of buying a Disco from a dealer at the sort of money you want to pay. The benefits will be fairly low and you are paying over the odds of a decent private sale IMO. Service history and signs of the car being cared for are very important IMO. Just be patient and wait for...
