Oil leak & grumbling!!!!!

deebee123 · Jul 19, 2012

Hi everyone,

You will have to excuse me but i am new to this forum stuff, I wanted to ask about a few concerns i have with my P reg Disco i brought 12 days ago.
After 5days the head gasket went, all was fixed with the garage but since i've got it home i have a MAJOR oil leak and a horrible grumbling noise when driving along. I have checked the oil but it say's full?????
The grumbling noise happens when i put my foot down. This never happened when i 1st drove it only after head gasket was done.
Oh i didn't want to take car back as it's over a hours drive, I will at a last resort.

Hope some can help. :dance:

Just a small piece of information for you, if your Discovery is a P reg diesel, then it's correct designation is a TDi 300, not a Disco 3 (LR3) - that is a much newer model and not at all the same thing.
