Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

It had the morning with the local Indy where the Master replaced the park brake module that was rendered inoperative by the Apprentice on the previous visit.

Had a restricted performance sign come up on dash. After restart seemed to occur under load. Took it to my mate at Mornington Prestigue (LR wealth of knowledge) & found a split hose (as he'd already guessed before we even plugged it in). 15 mins later on my way. Hope all future problems are this easy. PS 135ks original hose for those wondering.

Changed out the suspension air compressor last weekend. I cut a slot in the mounting bracket top bolt hole - made refitting much easier as you can put that near impossible to get to top bolt in first and then just have to tighten up once the bottom two bolts have been fitted.

It is the third time I have needed to remove the compressor - the fourth time will be much easier now.

That's the one

Flushed and refilled the auto transmission oil today. After a test drive realised I had left the hex driver bit in the refill plug. Of course was no longer there. Jumped on the push bike and retraced my route and found it just after a roundabout 3kms down the road.

I’m close to this again and looking at DIY. I’m favouring the Filo method on Disco3 where he runs the motor to pump it out at the radiator cooler. Looks simple enough then push new oil back in and repeat. Can also drain sump as an extra measuring all the oil removed.

As mine’s been professionally done twice before I’m thinking replacing the filter is not as critical as the fluid so leave sump on.

Did you guesstimate the oil temp when setting the level?

Filo method is quite easy, for temp I just drove around the block then checked the level.
