Further update With a bottle attached to the breather hose I drove 4 miles came back parked in the level, yes as before transmission fluid is coming out of the breather hose, while laying under the vehicle looking for drips I saw a drip from the...

I wonder is it all coming out of the breather. I think its common(with old gearboxes like my series certainly)that oil can run from the gearbox to the transfer box when the seal separating them fails.I fill my series box every month and I let all...

Leave it running and look carefully all over the underside of the vehicle for leaks. This happened to me and it cost me, in the end, a new gearbox. But before that it was found that the bolts holding the gearbox to the bell housing had come...

Also what fluid was in it and what did you put in it?

If coming out breather I’d have said overfilled on oil.. how did you check if trans fluid is low?

Greetings hudo, hope it’s serving you well!

Welcome, it’s a great forum and you certainly sound like you’ll be busy!

Hi, I just thought I would introduce myself. I am Gordon from Christchurch, New Zealand, and nearly a year ago I bought a nice green Discovey 2 V8. The plan is to do a few minor fix ups as a bit of a hobby, and explore some of our nice back...

Welcome, I wouldn’t worry about the cost in all honesty as long as you make good memories from ownership and enjoy it then your in for a win!

Hello Everyone Picked up Discovery 4 so tough I'm going need some forum members help at some point in my ownership due to nature of the beast so why not join in. Been honest I was looking at them for 2-3 years and alway put off by the shear...

Welcome lad, sounds like you’re having fun already! 😀

Welcome! 🤗

Welcome lad!

Many thanks for the wonderful welcome! Being an old git I am trying to find my way around this forum to post my questions. My camera is also rubbish but cr is gloss black vogue vse with black piped cream seats and black wood except where it has...

Amongst the mountain of tools and spares I take with me in the Disco, both rear paniers full and a trolley jack in the rear passengers foot well, I class gaffer tape and cable ties as the most likely to solve a problem. Both great inventions...

Thanks mate. Sounds like I fell into a nice group.

No probs, it's always good to have others on here! 😁 Kev

Good driving by everyone. I often see that lane on YouTube and quite often the jacked up monstrosities make a proper pigs ear of it. Have you got a What3Words location for it?

Yes - nice to see some controlled and respectful driving. And very reserved vehicles that are simply capable. Vids like these make me want to get an old 90. My wife and my bank manager say different!

But not in your engine, Right? don't want to give him the wrong idea! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Only the pedal braking will work this way but without power bleeding the modulator once it was empty of fluid will affect the correct function of all the active braking modes(ABS, TC, EBD, HDC) cos air will be trapped between the OV's circuits...

Damn it, I completely forgot about that sierrafery… @Badger688 you will need to do at least 1 power bleed with a nanocom as I was half correct on my response, apologies!

Battery is always the first off, even though It resets the mileage 🤣 Thank you @Luke2025 👍 Kev

I am interested but I don’t have £330 at the moment, so if you still got it after 25th then I’ll probably have it, no worries if not pal. Try ebay, you may get a bit more tbh.

No worries. :) Personally never really understood the effort or why people would go tray back. It seems to leave you with an impractical vehicle, but most of the cons of a pickup or full body. Plus they generally look a bit minging and...

That’s interesting, definitely gave me an idea there.. That does look good too! cheers.

Once you move away from standard you are in the world of "specials" so you have to think A bit differently and be prepared to fabricate stuff. I started with a cheap 2nd hand arc welding set up. You may possibly have to think about using...

Will get on that and have a look, cheers!

Once you are on a project use kit car and special suppliers like Europa. Doesn't have to be race or rally as you don't have to reach their standards.
