what size motor? and I think the D4 has a oil cooler on Australian models...mine does 2010 3.0L HSE.

Cheers

I have a 3.0l however I was looking for extra cooling because I do tow a heavy caravan.

But it would seem there is no add on cooler available .

I have been having trouble finding one.
My touareg has been towing our 3.5 tonne trailer without an extra cooler fine, so I expect the D4 to do the same. Both have ZF boxes.
Jordan rovertech in wa said there was not one available.....but could be made at a fair expense, and did not recommend it for warranty reasons (even though they agreed that it would help more then hinder, they said LR will try their best to get out of it, if the tranny fails).
It would be nice to have one though.

I also tow a caravan and the trans temp only goes up to 91c towing and without towing 86c so it's not a big jump. Seen overseas with none so we are lucky to have one as standard.

What do you measure your tranny temp with ? Do you have an app or an analogue gauge plumbed to the tranny ?
I have not yet found an app that monitors tranny temp.

Just recieved my metal pan from ZF in Sydney $242+GST , part No 1068 103 820 01 , looks like it can be drained and filled through the bottem of the pan which might make it easier to fill Trans etc. So will now service my trans with Life Gaurd 6 fluid at $34.44 per ltr from zf . Al

I have one fitted to D4 3.0L. Fitted by Bruce Davis Land Rover at Annangrove NSW.

I use TORQUE on my Android phone with a OBD2 module it has all the stuff to check temps etc
