Discovery 2 not moving

[HJK]

Anyone got any ideas?

 

Doesn't engage gears and won't move forward or backwards 

 

2003 automatic disco

 

I have checked it hasnt slipped out of hi

 

What could this be? And how much to repair?

Low fluid level, possibly due to blown oil cooler lines? 

Any sign of a leak?

 

Do you have a difflock, just to rule out the possibility of a blown diff/shaft/cv?

Have you checked props and half shafts?

the Govnor in back of gearbox used to give trouble in the d1.

also check the selector cable hasn’t given up/stretched

Could be, I think it would be throwing up the M & S lights on the dash though, mine has just had xyz switch repaired (£600 for a new one!). OP- when you select from neutral to drive does it register it on the dash screen?

Yeh I must be blind but I've had a good look under and found a nice little leak just above ish the gearbox

 

It's a completely stock disco 2 (for now) 

 

I haven't thought of the xyz switch or the transfer cable so thanks for those shouts

 

I will let you know tomorrow if the dash screen changes when I select gears

Air con drains pretty much on to the xyz switch which causes alot of the problems- not the finest idea landrover have had. You can take them apart clean them all up and reseal which is what mine has just had done- works fine now. 

[HJK]

Is it most likely to be the xyz switch then? 

 

Thanks for all the help chaps. I haven't got a clue so much appreciated

What colour leak?  If its atf it should be red- always hard to tell with leaks though
