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
