Thanks for all the replies.

Have rung LR - no recalls outstanding 👍

No mention in serv hist of oil pump change so will look into that. How do i find out if its been done if no paperwork? Is there a visual difference?

Belts changed but 95k ago so am guessing need doing again?

No mention of transmission fluid so will get that done along with parking brake check / adj...and full serv.

And how do i find out if EU2 or EU4?

PS...re the comment about ‘torque converter judder’...if going up a slight gradient with ‘fixed’ throttle, i get a little judder / wobble but not if accelerate/decelerate or anything more than slight gradient. Any ideas.

Check your VIN https://www.disco3.co.uk/wiki/Vehicle_Identification_Number

SALLAAA137A

The 1 is engine ID in this case no DPF
If it's a 6 you've got euro 4 with DPF

1 could mean Eu2 or Eu4 without dpf. I'm not sure how to figure which

Have a search for the pump. It's very well documented and you can identify visually by comparing the belt tensioner area of the casting.

If you need a pump, it's belts too so at least you basically get the belts labour for free.

Thanks.

As a non-mechanic, how do i see this? Can i ‘view’ it from under the bonnet / underneith or do bits need to be removed 😁

As a non mechanic, you can not see it... without some work...you have to take the covers off. Not difficult with two right hands and a few basic tools, but with two left-hands.. i am not sure...

But it is all here on the forum... if you use the search button/function..

Almost certainly torque converter. You can accelerate out of the judder sometimes so that doesn't explain it away. Obviously could be other things, drive shafts, diffs. Experiment with different gears etc. There's a lot of info on the forum about this issue.
