If it' got a TD5 you don't need to undo the hoses to the tranmition cooler when doing a radiator.
But it is possible it was removed.
Sounds like low oil in the transmition symptom.
The transmition needs to be checked after running through the gears and placed in park while running.
This is while the rig is level, recheck when oil is warm.
A recent thread with some good information...http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery-...light=overfill
