So here is an update for anyone who’s interested. I flushed 20 litres of oil through the box and it still never actually ran clear.....although way way cleaner. I test drove the car and unfortunately no improvement noticed, still revs surging in each gear and a squealing type of noise to...

All Put back together today with new LR seal, crank bolt and tensioner bolt. When I emptied the sump only around 2 litres was left...... The oil pump squealed on start up and then once took some Magnatec in, became silent again.....so all good. No leaks after test drive and the engine is...

Yup. Tomorrow it’ll have a new LR seal. Just hope no damage has been done by running on very little oil.

Guys, a few months ago I replaced the oil pump and belts etc on my Disco. Yesterday I was gave it an Italian Tune Up, (I do this, normally around once a month) then on the 7 mile journey home I was getting the dreaded bong and a very faint flash of the oil light. No power loss or smoke, so I...

It does help, just ordered them. Thanks

Great advise gents. Many thanks

And this for the repair.

The pipe rubs on the top of the chassis.

2006 Tdv6 Air compressor Hi gents I’ve bought a second D3 that needs a few things sorted on it. Occasionally the yellow suspension light comes on and stops the suspension from working, switch it on and off again and it’s fine. The suspension goes up and down normally although...

I can confirm (because I wore about a litre of oil) that the arrows are back to front......the oil pushes in at the top and out below. Lol

Yeah, exactly the same type of pump for the engine. I took my old one apart to see how it works.

Many thanks for the advice. Looking forward to getting the oil, so I can have a play.

That definitely helps. The loose top hose into a new drum of oil, and a hose from the rad stub into an empty drum. The question is, will this method suck and push without being a sealed unit? I’m guessing not, will probably need to make sure both drums are air tight. Then start the engine and...

Lol The oil isn’t arriving until nex,t week so I’ve got all weekend to figure it out..

Yeah, seen the thread, just slightly confused. He has two pipes going into the bottle, I’m unsure of where the second one connects to.

Lynall...can you clarify what you mean by that exactly....I really want to drain the box completely of all old oil. Any pictures, or clear step by step guide on here? Thanks
