This post I just found online explains it quit well.
Land Rover / Jaguar ZF transmission servicing and faults - Pickards Automotive | Car Service Centre | British and European Specilists | Melbourne
I was quoted 5000-6500 for a trans recon :(
anyone know a good place in WA to get the Transmission serviced? i.e. replaced pan etc.
I have 165,000kms now- tow bit, highish speeds (country kms). I would like to do myself (we are always fixing/servicing tractors/headers etc. at the farm so can spin a spanner and torque wrench as required) however I just have not got my head around taking spanners to the Disco..I am mildly panicking on the transmission! - 5 year warranty just up!
I asked LR at last service (this week) and they were not that keen ($1,100 quote)....along with timing belts on next service $2,000 and body off!
Thanks
The body shouldn't need to come off for belts. If it's 2.7 consider replacing the oil pump at the same time......
3.0ltr Matt - I read for the 3.0 its body off for the rear timing belts?Quote:

That's actually not out of the ball park if they're doing the double flush and using Lifeguard 6, I'm impressed you got the dealer to even quote on it!Quote:

You could eat your dinner off the workshop floor.
As there wasn't a rebuild on the shelf, ours was rebuilt. With a long weekend thrown in and a couple of issues with our torque converter, the car took eight business days to finish. Bob kept me totally in the loop as to what was going on and never promised anything he couldn't deliver.
Our car was returned spotless and running like a new one. His work has a 12 month/20,000K warranty.
He drives Landys himself and knows them well. I can't recommend him highly enough.
