You will need an allen key of suitable size to open the sump plug, a new sump plug washer, a Torx bit size T5 (from memory) to open the fill/level plug, a large oil collecting bowl, a 500mml syringe or something similar (for putting the new oil in), a reliable assistant and 5ltrs of Dexron III; Summarising, for temperate climate (eg UK) our full recommendations and capacities for your vehicle are as follows: Just wondering as the 90 (19J) already uses 10w40 Differs oil - be nice to be able to double up on oil. Save money and space. Just giving this a refresh as new information has emerged about the extent of the issue. Particularly important now as more potentially faulty cars are reaching the end of their initial lease (and 3 year warranty) and finding their way into the used car market. It affects these nameplates: The first family type was released as a three-door with a five-door following shortly after. All these vehicles had five seats with the option of using two jump seats in the boot.

Locate the transfer box "sump" bolt and remove it - make sure you have covered the ground with newspaper, and that you are holding the plastic jug underneath the bolt you are undoing it, as oil will go everywhere!! You've been warned There is no evidence of any leaks at the top of the engine, or around the turbo area, but there was lots of oil in the engine undertray and this had spilled over the edge and plastered the underside of the car. With the engine running, I find there is oil streaming from the front of the engine, low down in the region of the crankshaft pulley. There is a drain hole in the bottom of the timing cover and it's not clear if it is coming from there or from behind the timing cover. By the way, I think I've figured out how cambelt tensioner mounts are failing after belt service. Although there are torque limits set on fitting the mounting bolt, initial belt removal and refitting calls on the use of a tool to turn the tensioner against its spring so the belt can be placed over it. Everyone would use a 3' cheater bar for this, and most people would just lean it against the tensioners end stop whilst using their other hand to slip the belt on. A good lean on the bar could easily be exceeding 200nm at the tensioner...a hazardous gap in the service book instructions methinks. Now get your assistant in the vehicle and tell them to select N, place the transfer box lever in neutral, place the main box lever in P and start the engine;My argument to JLR is that considering certainly the Disco and Defender are working vehicles ie they spend a lot of time off road, farm vehicles, towing horseboxes etc that this should have been rectified years ago. I've done mine too. The oil was pretty grim. Is it possible that new oil could then trigger the need for a transfer box clutch realignment. I have some funny noises that I appeared after the oil change Thanks for your reply, Bodsy. I don't know what oil pump they used. The engine was reconditioned and fitted by Joe Shortt of Sharp's Automotive in Cradley Heath. They seemed to have done a good job and came across as a very professional outfit. While the body was off, they serviced the park brake module for me and replaced the brake pipes that almost failed the MOT and which are so difficult to get at when the body is on, both at a very reasonable cost. The car had been valeted inside and out when I went to collect it and the engine has been behaving perfectly until this happened. R.Every Freelander, Evoque and Disco Sport ever made has a transverse engine. Non have ever had a longitudinal engine. It’s just that it is thought that something changed with how they can position the DPF on the later models that caused the issueIncorrect. If you do the former you need to have specialist equipment but you will get a full oilchange at one go. If you do the latter it is a 2 stage approach and you will only change about 75% of the oil.

has got a full service history but wonder if any previous garages have taken the sealed for life literally Upgraded versions sold for 6 years from 1998 and was a modified version of its predecessor with no less than 720 differences between the models. These began moving away from the basic shell and more towards a more rounded, comfortable vehicle that could be used more easily for domestic driving. The plastic drain plug was quite mangled; the 10mm hex was rounded so it was difficult to get off and not possible to achieve the 8Nm to tighten it again. Perhaps someone had tried to change the oil and not succeeded. saw the second generation of Discovery models which were on sale up until 2009 at which point, Land Rover completely changed the aesthetic and building platform.I've not had any DPF issues on any of my DSs. All have been used on very - very = short urban journeys. One wanted an early service, but as someone said above, 2 years is too long to not change the oil anyway. My questions is: D3 2007 just turned 315000km (~195000miles) the last 20k ran by me in the last 2 years. To do an autobox oilchange you either pump it out via the oil cooler connections, or you do it via the sump and level/plug.

If the 300TDI isn't currently using much oil then go with the 10W40 viscosity, especially if you are covering a fair few thousand miles each year. Using a kettle, boil some water, dip the plastic pipe on the hot water for few seconds to soften it, and then insert the copper pipe to that end. Anyway, he is making arrangements to have the vehicle transported to their works so it can be investigated and fixed under warranty. I'll let you know the outcome. A commercial van variant was released within the UK, Ireland and Europe, and from 2019, Land Rover shifted production to Slovakia (this was the first Discovery to be manufactured outside the UK ever).The irony of all this is that, as I wrote earlier this week, Israel has indeed begun producing a tremendous amount of fossil fuels in the time since Zion Oil & Gas got there—no thanks to them. Massive reserves in the Mediterranean Sea have fueled a push by successive Israeli governments to become a major gas exporter to its neighbors and to Europe; just last month, Israel’s Ministry of Energy granted six companies exploration licenses for the Levant Basin. European disco—rooted in Europop, with which it is largely synonymous—evolved along somewhat different lines. In Europe producers such as (Jean-Marc) Cerrone ( Love in C Minor) and Alec Costandinos ( Love and Kisses) made quasi-symphonic disco concept albums, while Giorgio Moroder, working primarily at Musicland Studios in Munich, West Germany, conceived of whole album sides as a single unit and arrived at a formula that became the standard approach to European dance music in the 1980s and ’90s. These continental differences did not prevent intercultural collaborations such as that between Moroder and American singer Donna Summer, nor did they close off input from other sources: Cameroonian artist Manu Dibango’s “Soul Makossa,” first a dance-floor hit in Paris, helped usher in the disco era in 1973. In case you are wondering why I needed an engine in the first place (at only 100K miles), it was all down to a glowplug tip that fell off and did an amazing amount of damage to piston, valves, head and turbo. That in turn was put down to a failed attempt a couple of years earlier to extract the seized glowplug by various means, which probably weakened it - a futile and costly exercise. Recommended to change oil every 10 years. Next sevice on my 07 D3 it's diffs and transfer box. Engine oil of course changed at the service along with oil filter. To change the subject slightly how many owners have had to change the sump due to corrosion? I had to do mine when the car was 5 years old!
