Oh and another thing, an excellent tool for refilling the gearbox is a 5 litre weed killer spray bottle ebay £9.99. Just remove the spray nozzle a few pumps and your good to go.

Fitted new pipe, refilled gearbox with oil and all is well! Running like a dream, even managed a few overtakes lol! The plan is to run a few hundred miles then drain the box, change the filter then refill. I did encounter a few problems along the way though! Firstly I hadn't attached the...

Spot on with that diagnosis Biglad !! That's exactly what's happened, some how the top cooler pipe had came loose, it was only on finger tight, so i can only guess how it managed to loosen itself off. It was a right bugger to get to also. I think I would have struggled getting a spanner on...

Howdy troops. Surprise surprise the snow arrives and the disco dies on me again, every time it snows it breaks down with one problem or another, every year. This time the auto gearbox on my 53 plate Td 5 failed, has been leaking oil occasionally, usually I top up with a litre or so and it does...

Why is it that every time I bump into a BMW X5 on the road the ####er wants to race me? What's that all about? I've owned a few BM's over the years, I've raced a few cars at the lights in the BM's, mostly other sports cars but c'mon an old discovery 2 ? Again what's that all about? Anyone else...

I take it it's an auto gearbox? Have you any leaks around the box, you could be low on oil? Cheers.

Aye you would be better to get it on a diagnostic test then go from there, around 50 quid but well worth it. They are frustrating when the break but it's all part of the course with Landy ownership. It should be a simple fix and your motor will be running perfect again soon.

Double check the Hill Descent button hasn't been pressed accidentally.

Cheers James i will disconnect that top oil cooler pipe then reattach with a bit of ptfe tape, that may sound a bit rough but would do the trick, I will see if it makes a difference, is there an o-ring at the seat here??? When you say drop down the box, is it only a case of removing the prop &...

Disco 2 TD5 Auto 53 plate 100k miles I have an oil leak coming from the gearbox /transmission area. I put in some Wynns stop leak about 1 year ago and i have had no problems since up until now. The leak seems to be coming from the top of the box, roughly the area where the oil cooler pipe is...

Sounds like your gearbox oil is low if its an auto, have you got any oil leaks there?

Dirty b@st@rd's, hope the law catches the filthy beggars!
