Took the inspection plate off and cleaned it up checked inside and sealed it back up. As i was filling it up i found the issue and where the leak was coming from. A bolt that holds the TC to the Gearbox was missing and oil was just running out. So found a bolt that fit and a copper washer and fixed that!
Then just changed the front and rear diff oils while i was there.
Also!! I cleaned the TC and noticed a sticker saying 1.22 gear ratio? Now i was under the impression that Disco 1's ran a 1.8? Has this been changed or is a new TC? I'll crawl back under soon and see if i can find any stamped numbers or serials.
No such thing as 1.8 tc ratio, v8 and tdi have same ratio's thru all boxes.Quote:

Never heard of a 1.8??
Discos are 1.2?
Defenders are 1.4
Lucky you found that missing bolt before you lost all your oil.
What did you use to reseal the inspection plate? Mine needs doing.
I didn't find the original bolt haha, i had to find one that i guessed was correct and cut it down to size and added a copper washer just in case.Quote:

EDIT: Also no idea where i got the number 1.8 in my mind. My have picked it up somewhere along the way from another vehicle. Ignore me please haha.
Also the 20L i got for like $75 from work. So ill just had it to my oil collection and at least i know i wont have to buy any more soon.
Called around to see if i could find a replacement dash cluster as my odometer has stopped working/got stuck. I have checked the cable and it works freely and i have tried to un stick the odometer but with no luck. Two places i called wanted more than $100 for the dash cluster and i dont need it fixed for that much. So ill just have to wait!
Took the Disco to my local mechanics for a minor service and a check over for roadworthy as rego is due in April. Needs a LOT of work. Oh Dear. :eek:

Fitted the 1650mm long Rhino Rack crossbars today and mounted the L brackets for my Adventure Kings pullout awning. Need to fabricate a wind deflector as the basket 'howls' at 80 km/h and over. Lucky the Alpine head unit is LOUD!:D

Finished the awning install. Faced the brackets up so when set up there should be enough fall to allow water to drain rather than pool.

Going to give the owners handbook a good read too:D
