    Disco 3 (LR3) Issue after transmission oil change

    121,000 approx. Asked JGS regarding the symptoms I'm having and this was the response What you are describing could be caused by a low fluid level due to the level not being checked correctly. It is very important that the transmission is at operating temperature between 45-65 degrees...

    Disco 3 (LR3) Issue after transmission oil change

    Forgive my lack of knowledge but when the transmission oil is changed does it need to be filled/ran at temperature? What would happen for example if this wasn't done and just filled up with what looks like they used 3.5l of 7l I provided which I have back and then taken straight into a ten...

    The website stated 7l was enough to do a double flush. I've emailed the company I bought from to confirm the kit I bought was suitable for my car. As I'm currently putting together all info I can before getting further advice on what I can do
