    revived thread

    Where is the transmission oil temp sensor located? If possible, could someone please post a photo of its location or describe for me what I should be looking at nd it what area?

    I had the gearbox changed over in my 5 speed 1993 Disco and the light remained on from a cold start.

    cheers,

    John

    Looking at the picture in the parts listing, it's near the radiator.
    Follow your gearbox cooler pipes towards the front of the car & you should see a sensor there.

    Not sure about the disco, but my 89 uses the coil type separate cooler mounted in front of the Air Conditioning condensor. The sensor is mounted on the left hand side of the cooler coil, access by removing front grill.

    I took it for a drive last night and funnily enough, the light went out by itself. Not sure what's going on. But it appears to be all correct now.
    But I have a weird rattle coming from the rear passenger side that I cant put my finger on...very noticable at idle (not moving).

    Hi. at the moment I don't have an issue with transmission overheating in my 96 D1 v8 auto, but I do want to avoid it when towing my caravan.

    When I looked underneath at the radiator etc, I found what I thought was an engine oil cooler (long cylinder with wire type cooling fins full width of radiator placed in front of A/C radiator) but no separate transmission oil cooler other than pipes leading to and from side of radiator. I considered using an aftermarket transmision oil cooler but the inlet and outlet were only 3/8" instead of the D1's 1/2" pipes. I have considered getting another engine oil cooler to use for the transmission but the P38a cooler sounds like a better idea. Would appreciate some more info on the fitting please (and maybe some pics).

    Cheers,
    Roger

    GRIMACE, yep it';s the exhaust making contact with the mud flap area. It appears the exhaust has shifted to the left (passenger side) and I cant seem to adjust it back without pushing it back the other way. Where the exhaust mounts from a welded hook to a rubber block behind the tow ball area, it's slipped towards the mud flap, causing metal on metal contact. I can push it away but it slides back again...
