Thread: What happened to your Discovery 2 today?

I changed the gearbox oil and the transfer case oil. The oil looked milky, emulsified almost. Where does the water get in? Buggered seals?
I also changed the front diff oil and topped up the rear diff oil. The 1/2 inch hole on the drain plug is no longer square. Those pesky rocks! It seems that the diff guards went in too late!
Filling the transfer case is a pain. There are other places to put a fill port that are easier to get too. I think about getting one of those extended sumps and drilling and tapping a hole to refill the transfer case, in a easier location.

The front diff oil looked good, the same colour that it went in.

Check the breathers aren't blocked.

To check the breathers, start with removing the centre console?

this is what i use on a 20 litre container for transferbox and diff's works at treat

ToolPRO Drum Pump 20 Litre | Supercheap Auto

These Tom Thumb type pump bottles also handy for such oil jobs too.

I just look at the concrete under the car to check the colour of the various oils!

Interestingly he has just started to hiccup when I back off the throttle and then feather it back on.... it drive by wire right?
So something is sticking... where to start.
He was sitting for a few weeks...

Ok so it got worse....on the way home it hiccuped, engine light came on, m and a came on, engine light went out and lost drive...no throttle response, neutral and rolled into a car park.... turn off count to ten and all good.
But still hiccups at 2500 rpm and then 3000 rpm when locked in sport mode...
Might be a kick down issue?
