Yes nice and easy to do on a stand, really enjoy it cleaned up timing area and sorted leak hopefully Waiting for tensioner bolt forgot to order Been a bit distracted by something else Lol Thanks for your kind words, chairs still here

If I had not much else to do, I'd do a bit of this. Round here peeps will sell a car just cos it's failed an MOT. A bloke two doors down does it and has them on his front drive with prices on! Saw a Porsche the other day. I have yet to ask him...

Really in two minds I said Couldn't view until Wednesday to give myself some thinking time thanks for your input mate much appreciated At the end of the day it's a gamble of which I am used to could need flush but on the other hand could be...

My god, what an absolute sod. Designed by a sadist or what?

Hi mate Also found this , shows pinpoint tests and faults , then goes into detail ref the gearbox https://www.discoverysport.net/attachments/diagnosis-9-speed-automatic-awd-pdf.7482/ Hope it helps

Oops sorry mate as missed this as also came up with that location See it has the ZF 9HP48 9-Speed, bet u can’t even tell it changing gear if it’s anything like the 6 and 8 speeds Also as mentioned maybe the atf oil hasn’t been done See the...

The main casing retains the ATF (automatic transmission fluid) at the bottom. A drain plug is located in the main casing. The oil level is checked by removal of a level plug, with the engine running and the transmission fluid at a temperature...

Spot on mate as indeed it looks like it’s located inside The fluid temperature sensor is integrated into the internal wiring harness within the transmission sensor unit. It detects the Number 4 ATF TCM temperature in the transmission and...

Fingers crossed ur be allowed to plug ur scanner in before buying it Plus see the module is on top of the gearbox The TCM CAN is located on the top of the automatic transmission casing and is connected on the high speed systems bus to send...

You are a legend mate probably wouldn't buy some of this stuff without you on my side thanks will go through it over next day or so Cant resist it mate its black hse, black leather it's also only 30 miles away Dealers dont normally want you to...

Forget that the discovery sport is a completly different gearbox all together. Sensor may still be in the gearbox tho

You ain't upset no one! Am looking forward to finding out exactly how it all works. We can all learn, all the time!:):):)

Will go as normal I expect lots of head scratching, tea, input from @gstuart if there's nothing obvious stage 2 More tea and loud credence then call my mate at LR for guidance Lol usually get my head round it in the end well so far

You need to know what gearbox it has I think its the zf6hp so the temp sensor is on the metatronics unit inside the gear box so it's oil drain, sump pan off let's be honest there overdue service items then a simple swop of the temp sensor you...

Will go through it haven't even put diagnostic on it yet, your right was just surmising really but can always hope for a easy fix surely must happen one day, sorry didn't mean to upset anyone
