hi all....i have the discovery 3.9 v8 twined with the 4 speed auto box. tonight on my way home i saw a red light flicker on the dash and then come on full time. its the red cog with the the thermometer inside it. i have found out this is to do with the gearbox....( i think  :lol: ).... i have checked the oil level and this seems to be fine....i did top it up a little....


but the light remains on... :?

can anyone in the know of the mystery of the auto box point me in the direction of things to check tomorrow  :wink:

Kaneda:
That could be a few things :

1. Dodgy wiring to the temp sensor on the gearbox.

2. Possible clogged atf cooler - or no fins!

3. Something more sinister that is overheating the box.

Only check the ATF fluid when cold, park level. Cycle from P to 1, then back - repeat twice. Check level.

denviks:
:wink: ..i will double check in the morning.... thanks mate.... i am worried as its a new truck to me really..... but the light flickered and then came on... it now stays on even if i let it sit for an hour  :? ...as soon as i put my keys in the ignition its on....

Kaneda:
Sounds like wiring. Just get under there and make sure everything is snug.

denviks:
cheers mate ...will report back what i find  :D  :D
