Hi,
Just had my ears syringed abd wished I hadn't. The wife mentioned that the Disco was a bit noisy when we went to the dump on Saturday, but with ears full of wax I couldn't hear a thing. This afternoon I had my ears syringed and then drove the Disco 10 miles for a 132K service and thought the bl**dy gearbox was going to drop out.
I'm guessing that it's likely to be recon gearbox job (be a bit too much to expect the gearbox has just got a bit low on oil). Anybody have any other suggestions or likely cost?
Ah a few clues my help:
2000 discovery TD5 132K miles Flywheel, diaphram and thrust bearing changed about 5K ago. It used to be a little bit noisy in 2nd and 4th at about 2500 to 3000 rpm, but now noisy in all gears and I mean a loud sort of rattling noise as if a shaft is spinnning and there is play in the bearings.
Guess this serves me right to think about replacing it, bl**dy Landrover money pits!!!!
Thanks
Terry
