Revs bouncing due to worn torque converter
that’s what i’m also thinking, know it’s easy to add some Dr tranny via the coolers top house near the FBH

Revs bouncing due to worn torque converter
Yes my thoughts too I wish he changed it he whilst he had gearbox in his face! Is it a big job to change converter?Revs bouncing due to worn torque converter
It’s been a nightmare Car!! I added the tubs of dr tranny to no avail! Also forgot to mention Car goes in limp mode every 70 off mile. Pull over engine off and on and it clears . Had it in garage changed EGR valve changed battery still the same! And the juddering is getting worse if anything! I’m just wondering if they could be linked? Could the worn torque converter cause it to go into limp mode? I’m at the point where it’ll be going to auctions cos I’m sick of it! It’s the worse car I’ve ever ownedthat’s what i’m also thinking, know it’s easy to add some Dr tranny via the coolers top house near the FBH
I no mate it’s a nightmare with these sort of cars as parts are expensive, it got plugged in and basiclly all he told me was it was reading loss of commmunication so hence why he told me to swap battery! I might have to find a landrover specialist to read codes properly , it’s must be linked to gearbox though surly, I’m hoping to do torque converter and cure limp mode too. Here is to hoping !!Have you had the codes read?
Have a quick google and find a local auto gearbox specialist and get them to have a drive in it.
You have to be logical when fault finding, the old days of load the parts cannon are long gone as its way to expensive.
Thanks mate appreciate that. I’ve just posted a thread! I’m new to this forum so hopefully I’ve posted it in right placeLoss of comms is going to be a canbus problem somewhere, most likely in one of the wheel arch plugs or the wiring very close to them.
We used to get canbus/loss of comms errors all the time on the hgvs and most of the time they are just spoof/ghost codes so delete and road test to see what codes come back, what does come back is most likely a real fault
If you so some research google/d3 forum I think the whole canbus circuit needs to be continuos ie like a model train track and there are severals resistors in various components parking brake module being one.
Battery is a good start but not likely to be your issue.
On the D3 forum there are a few forum sponsors who are mobiles techs, if you post and ask some will quickly give you their name/contact details, Ive not heard/read a bad thing about any of them so they are going to be the answer to your prayers as they will have seen all the issues by now.
I agree mate live and learn! All the part I’ve had have been supplied by him ( he had a disco with knackered engine) also runs a disco himself so thought ide be able to get it sorted
That will probably be the new uprated metal sump on gearbox to replace the original plastic one, normally changed when renewing the gearbox oilHi mate
That’s would be brilliant I would appreciate any help and point in right direction.
Just a quick note I took the car to a friend today he’s only a basic old style mechanic who works from home. I said to put my car on ramp and phone me up! I went down and 100% my gearbox has not been off. All the gearbox bolts are dirty rusted and in touched! Even down to to prob shaft bolts same again dirty un touched. So no way torque converter had been replaced! Only think I noticed had been touched as it was shiney clean and bolts all shiny, was a black plate at bottom of gearbox. I’m not sure what it is. I assume maybe inspection access panel ! It Almost looked like oil sump pan!
Where do I draw a line under it though now I’m into Car deap now. I’m tempted to just cut my losses and take a hit on this one
