I just used my disco2 and towed another disco about 3 miles with a tow rope. The disabled disco was in "Neutral" all the way. After the tow I noticed a trail of Transmission fluid leading to and under the disco2 (the working one). I drove the 3 miles doing about 5-10 mph and it was a relativly flat road with no stopping during the trip.
My guess is that the automatic transmission was "overworked" and leaked??? What is the towing capacity of a Disco2??? If this gave me a problem I guess the towing package is just for looks...
I drove the Disco2 the next day and everything seems ok. No slipage, gear shifts ok.
What happened here??? Did I spring a leak??? Am I looking for trouble???
I also looked for a "transmission fluid" dipstick, none to be found in the engine compartment, nothing in the manual to sugest where it would be. I guess it might be one of those get under the disco2 and unscrew some fill plug to check level!!!
Thanks for your help...
