I am 99.8% sure that it's a 4.6 Engine. This is Saudi Arabia after all Will check and update.

How would I find out if the transmission is a 4HP-22? I think I'll have to take it to a mechanic to get the transmission oil replaced. Is this something that a normal mechanic can do or does this require a LR technician? I have the RAVE manuals and can most probably figure out where the bolt to drain the tranmission is...........

I'm a Canadian Expat living in Saudi Arabia. Aside from the dealer there is nobody knowledgable in fixing LR's. :angry: Any way, there is 1 shop that does LR repairs, and I haven't tried them yet, but I would like to go to either the Dealer or the other shop with at least some knowledge of the problem so they don't swindle me out of my money. Anything I can do to get it checked out? According to the dealer, they hooked up the OBDII computer up to the car and the transmission reports " NO FAULTS STORED ". So as far as they are concerned, the tranny is fine and if I want the problem to disappear, I have to fork out 8000 dollars. :blink: My limited knowledge of car mechanics indicate that the problem most probably is hydraulic in nature. Perhaps some sort of vaccum booster or something is not generating enough pressure to engage 1st to second. On a side note, I used to note that when I start the car when it is off, the car is of course in P. So I step on the brakes and move the shfter to D. When D engages, I could feel the car kind of flex. In other words I could feel it engage into D. But these days D engages without that "feeling". Any advice is appreciated!

Hey guys, First post here! Anyway, I need some major help from you guys. I have a 2004 Discovery Petrol version which has done only 55K km on it. So it's pretty new. About the 42K km mark I started having transmission issues. Here is the problem I have on my automatic transmission. Shifts from 1st to 2nd (only) happen in a jerky fashion. The feeling is identical to as if you have the car stationary and in neutral and give it a bit of accelerator say 1500RPM and then move the shifter to D. It will engage with a jerk/shudder. Now the problem is that it happens intermittently. But more often than not. So I would say 70% of the time it jerks but sometimes it's smooth as silk. As usual, I took it to the dealer and they said that it's a transmission problem (DUH!) and that it requires a replacement. Price for parts and labor is around 8000 dollars. That's insane and I refuse to pay that much. Hopefully I can diagnose this with you guys' help and can fix or at least find out what is causing the problem. Thanks in advance!
