hiya sorry found out i was being a nob!!! i have a 99 disco TD5 and on frosty mornings i can wind the thing over for anything up to 10 seconds before it starts. i had this last year too and my local LR dealer had a look and a test and couldnt find any problems. All summer it was fine, and now...

hi all, sorry i cant get my questions to work on here just sending test

quick update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! took car to LR garage and after checking oil levels and general trouble shooting, hey could not find anything out of the ordinary, but suggested doing another oil and filter change just to rule it out. They did say that periodically they do get they odd 'dudd...

lol!!!!!! thanks Matt :D

cheers flybywire i will check that!!!!!!!!! ha ha i only want to be able to charge me phones up!!!!;)

Many thanks as always i will have another look at the weekend and see whats what and what might be easier way. :)

i have explained what problems i am having and they said they were gonna trouble shoot. Whether they will do the test that Sierrafery mentioned in an earlier reply or what i dont know. i have already made up my mind to request they carry out another Auto box oil and filter change anyway, as i am...

Internal one for me please ;)

Evening just discovered that fag lighter in front consul doesn't work. Had a look inside to discover its kinda 'rusty'! anyone know how this comes out to replace it? do i have to take the consul out or is there a far easier way? cheers Graeme :confused:

Thanks WSLR, it is going into the LR specialists i normally use, on Thursday. I have no idea what made me take it to a local garage to have the box oil changed in the first place??????? must have had a brain lapse!!! lol cheer Graeme

Hey Mat Thanks very much for your reply, i have me fingers crossed that thats all it is. As i say, without the van on the back it seems to drive perfect. I have it booked into a Land Rover specialist on Thursday for them to have a look see, so will keep this forum advised. how did you change...

thanks James> so i guess i will need to have a look at the oil and see if its blackened. if this is clutch slippage will it have turned the oil black after the trip i just made, approx 100 miles??

i will give it a go then, thanks again for the advice fella

hey Sierrafery Many thanks for this test, i will give it a go. Does it potentially damage anything while you are performing the test? :eek:

hi james. I towed with it prior to the box oil change, to cornwall and back. On the way down there i drove it like i would normally do and it really struggled up some of the long drawn out hills and the temp light came on. However, on the way back i drove it a bit harder and made sure that i was...

evening all further to the agro i had when a local garage changed my TD5 Auto box fluid, see previous comments, i have to say that once settled down, the gear change is now great. HOWEVER, and its a huge however, having hooked up my caravan on the arse end to go away for New Year, the car was...

sounds great to me. many thanks fella:)

thanks for the advice as always gents :5bcheers2:

Thanks again, but just wondered, like Sierafery, if they told untruth about 'wrong filter', maybe they used incorrect trans fluid???? how would i ever know? :doh:

Thanks very much for advice and the link was excellent. For piece of mind and after the cobblers they've obviously told me, do you think i should take to Land Rover specialists and get them to do it again? could well be money well spent eh?:frusty:
