Hi Guys got an issue with my 2010 facelift sport. Cant get it to go into drive, guess its the linkage thant needs fixing.

Anyone know of a "How to Fix" it guide or Youtube clip?

TIA

I think there is one on the Disco3 forum.
Before you change it, what I did was get underneath on ramps, drop the transmission guard and give it a good spray with penetrating fluid then work the lever back and forward. This freed it up nicely then a good dose of lube (cant remember if I used a silicone grease) has seen it right.
Replace the tranny guard of course.

Found it.

Excellent 👍

Thanks a bunch.

Ken, out of curiosity would be interested to know if your car does have a transmission shield fitted, as my 5.0L doesn't have one fitted and never has unless dealer left it off in very early day's. Never been able to find one listed for it either just the 3.0L, bit late in the day to worry about it now but if it does just wondered if you can see any part numbers on it would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Col

I'll let you know when I get under her tomorrow or Thursday.

Hi Ken, appreciated that, many thanks Plenty of 5.0L down this part of the world so if it should have one might not be to much trouble to find one in breakers yard.

My 5.0 doesn't either. Also thought it odd, but JLR, so

Just managed to get under the car and I seem to have the cover fitted. I've found 5 bolts (2 x front, 1 x rear and 2 down the drivers side) be if I can find the 6th one.

Anyone got a suggestion?

Sounds like its full of water too!

All very odd, but does it look like either of these, although the top picture is for the 3.0L, the lower one is a illustration from the 12/13 workshop manual, and shown for all variants, but could be just generic illustration I guess, as it lists that shield and brkt. for the 05-09 vehicles, which there was never a 5.0L version and a different transmission the 05-09 had a HP26 the 5.0L has the HP28, wouldn't know the external differences though if any.

That is the Fuel Tank shield/cover I'm afraid not the Transmission shield, not sure I would remove the bolts unless you have a empty tank or the tank supported
