Thrasher:
You know.....some Land Rovers don't actually come with a manual option ;-) <grin>
BLUE DISCO:
hi i have the same problem my disco is a real slug pulling off ive blanked off EGR bit better could it be injectors or kick down cable not set correctly
also my gearbox seems to over heat when towing on the limit any ideas please
petergalileo:
Mine too is slow off the mark, I have blanked off the EGR too. I am going to try an oil and filter change on the gearbox shortly.
The ZF auto is a great box and seldome (touch wood) go wrong, The system locks up at about 50mph so your fuel economy on a run should be the same or better than a manual.
stevegreen:
Fuel economy will be slightly worse than a manual, but I still manage to get 23-24 MPG and on motorway cruises to and from work (along the M62 to Hull) get just over 400 miles on a full tank.
I have had the g/box overheating light on a couple of times when towing my Supacat on a heavy trailer. Always when giving it some welly from a standing start (r/abouts on the A1) but stopping for a few minutes sees the light go off and there has been no change to the oil coluor of smell.
Checking the level can be a confusing if you are looking for a nice clean line on the dipstick. Whilst on the dipstick, have a look to see if it clicks shut when replacing it and whether it ends up riding back up after a few miles. The concern being getting muck down the dipstick pipe. I have not really found a properly solution.
It has always been slow off from a standing start - almost to the point of being dangerous at T junctions, as it seems quite a while between pressing the accelerator and the vehicle finally starting to move. Only solution is to adjust your driving technique accordingly as its just the way they are rather than something wrong.
Off road it is supreme, especially crawling over rocks.
Range Rover Blues:
Fuel economy saounds a lot worse, the wife gets 450-475 miles from a tank in hers, and she doesn't hang around. 200TFi with R380.
