Charge or swap the battery first as an old/low battery can cause all sorts of electrical issues. Even the auto box will do as you’ve described. To source parts, I just go on eBay but there are a few on here people have recommended, I can’t...

No ramp here either but not an issue as it only leaks when my face is underneath

Changing the one on my TD5 was a right sod, but then I chose not to empty the sump first. Putting the new one in at arm's length through the little access port under the wheel arch, it got very slippy!! No ramp, obvs!;) 🤣

Also the flashing D in gear is to do with the autobox xyz switch. Also your battery is low, can you fully charge it or try a different one to rule it out?

As you said it just suddenly cut out, I think it’s more of a loss of fuel, loss of injector function, failed communication to engine ecu or crank position sensor has failed.

When you go to crank it, does the fuel pump run? Does the crank sound strong or weak?

There are two neutrals, 1 in the main gearbox and 1 in the transfer box. The main gearbox (R380 or LT177) drives an output shaft which typically spins faster than the engine in 5th, the same speed when in 4th and slower when in 1st 2nd and 3rd...

So, bit of an update. Unfortunately its still a non starter. Things we have tried since last update... Cranked it over with an oscilloscope on each of the injectors and found they all get 1 weak signal and then nothing. Which we assume is the...

Where do you park yer horse lol

Lmao you guys solder them and the like, my emergency fix is strip back wire, twist and tape hahahah!

Yur, well I have stuff like that too, but I don't carry it around with me int cars! The choc block gets it home then it gets fixed propah, usually!! 🤣

You want to take a whole engine?

yea sounds like it’s moving fluid to transfer, do as above from findo, not hard to do but it’s heavy ish.

That being the case the seal between the gearbox and transfer box will need changing, which isn't difficult in itself and is accessible once the units are separated.. I'm not an expert and have only once removed an r380 and lt230 together as one...

Further update With a bottle attached to the breather hose I drove 4 miles came back parked in the level, yes as before transmission fluid is coming out of the breather hose, while laying under the vehicle looking for drips I saw a drip from the...

I wonder is it all coming out of the breather. I think its common(with old gearboxes like my series certainly)that oil can run from the gearbox to the transfer box when the seal separating them fails.I fill my series box every month and I let all...

Leave it running and look carefully all over the underside of the vehicle for leaks. This happened to me and it cost me, in the end, a new gearbox. But before that it was found that the bolts holding the gearbox to the bell housing had come...

Also what fluid was in it and what did you put in it?

If coming out breather I’d have said overfilled on oil.. how did you check if trans fluid is low?

Greetings hudo, hope it’s serving you well!

Welcome, it’s a great forum and you certainly sound like you’ll be busy!

Hi, I just thought I would introduce myself. I am Gordon from Christchurch, New Zealand, and nearly a year ago I bought a nice green Discovey 2 V8. The plan is to do a few minor fix ups as a bit of a hobby, and explore some of our nice back...

Welcome, I wouldn’t worry about the cost in all honesty as long as you make good memories from ownership and enjoy it then your in for a win!

Hello Everyone Picked up Discovery 4 so tough I'm going need some forum members help at some point in my ownership due to nature of the beast so why not join in. Been honest I was looking at them for 2-3 years and alway put off by the shear...

Welcome lad, sounds like you’re having fun already! 😀

Welcome! 🤗

Welcome lad!

Many thanks for the wonderful welcome! Being an old git I am trying to find my way around this forum to post my questions. My camera is also rubbish but cr is gloss black vogue vse with black piped cream seats and black wood except where it has...

Amongst the mountain of tools and spares I take with me in the Disco, both rear paniers full and a trolley jack in the rear passengers foot well, I class gaffer tape and cable ties as the most likely to solve a problem. Both great inventions...

Thanks mate. Sounds like I fell into a nice group.
