What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Had the the sump and fluid changed on the 6sp transmission at 160k.

Had been on the to do list for a while. There is a subtle difference in smoother gear changes, more so on the down shift.

cheers

Not today, but worth a mention, took the D4 to Justin Cooper on Thursday to have him look at the car and to book it in for a service, what an absolute gentleman and nice bloke, car is all good, it threw an unusual fault on our way down to the ferry, hasn't done it since.

He is such a nice bloke he is even offered to do work on our 76 Cruiser:whistling:

Filter changed. Fingers crossed.

Might be time for some diesel fuel treatment mate, good chance for some real world testing. There are a couple that would be worth testing. Low ash 2 stroke oil, Berrima diesel make one, CEM. Be good to see if any of them give your wallet a break.

Post the replacement engine on my D3, my battery gave me grief when away a few weeks ago. Helpful Jump start by another Disco driver and it was working fine (??) I tried to start on Saturday to find it fail a second time. Charged and started I took it for a battery test which showed it MARGINAL [bighmmm]


Set the charger to Rejuvenation but grabbed a new battery from Ritters as no way I a driving a long way off road with a question on it.
going to add the old battery to my lawn mower. That should be fun[biggrin]

Will be interesting considering all the extra parts they need to remove!

Can they do it without removing the snorkel - eg can you unclip it and slide it out the way enough of the top mounting bracket?

After last year i'm surprised mine is still starting, the main has to be 6-7 yo at least. I am now just starting to get the occasional special programs unavailable message which goes as soon as its running, now battery time for me too - either an exide extreme or supercharge goldplus.
