    Disco 3 (LR3) Automatic gearbox oil & filter change tips/advice

    Thanks for that info. Watched a video on You Tube posted by Atlantic British regarding fitting the new modification. It appears that the original sump & filter is one unit. When the sump bolts are removed, the sump is lowered slightly and this allows for a hacksaw blade to be inserted in the gap...

    Disco 4 (LR4) Passenger door locking problem

    Just removed the glass. I found out the hard way about the rear screw which holds the lock barrel as I removed the screw completely and when I removed the barrel, the plastic handle base dropped into the door cavity with, I discovered, a metal cover. Despite fishing around with a magnetic gizmo...

    Disco 3 (LR3) Automatic gearbox oil & filter change tips/advice

    Just had a read of the procedure shown in the link you sent me...looks like the way I shall do it. I will measure how much is removed, plus how much comes out when I remove the sump plug before I replace the filter/new sump unit. I like his refill gizmo, it's a variation on the Gunson...

    Disco 4 (LR4) Passenger door locking problem

    Replaced the front l.h. one this weekend on my Disco 3 as it wouldn't unlock unless the button on the dash was repeatedly pressed-I also suspected the unlock motor was faulty. Yes, it is a fiddly job, especially getting access to the rear glass clip on the regulator which has to be released...
