Hi everyone,
I towed my caravan with my disco 300tdi auto a few weeks ago, after about 30 miles it started struggling a bit, with only 5 miles to go i carried on.... when i got to the site the gearbox absolutely stunk and it had gotten that hot the kickdown cable had melted.
I left the caravan on site and changed the cremated oil. Only problem is only 4 litres came out but i thought it held 8 litres?? I filled it up thinking it was just very low but it only took 4 litres so no oil loss.
Is there a knack to emptying all the oil or is there perhaps a blockage somewhere?
Should i flush out the oil cooler or even replace it for a better one?
I intend to do more towing and a lot further but daren't with these problems.
