Afternoon,

Just under my Disco 2 td5 with Autobox and noticed what appears to be a hole for a bolt on my gearbox.....now I'm not sure if there is something supposed to be in there but I'm a little paranoid after my T/Box screwing up over missing bolts bolts etc by some shoddy work at a LR Specialist.

Can any of you shed any light? Pic below.

Thanks

But then D1 auto box is different and doesn't have any holes, and no plugs required on a D1 V8 auto.
