Transmission noise plus static electric shock on exit?
My 2005 HSE drives fine but with the window down, sunny days, noticed that the auto transmission seems to make a slipping sound like clutch slipping but clearly I have no clutch plus on exiting the vehicle after even short drive it give a nasty shock if I touch the door. Any ideas?Third disco have had a mark 1 then 2 and now 3 and now a 4
Do not know about the transmission but try grounding yourself before touching anything metal. Did you think I would leave you crying,
When there's room in my D3 for 7,
Climb in here Joe we'll soon be flying,
I can go just as fast with 7.

It's probably actually you giving the poor D3 a nasty shock! Maybe you should change your choice of clothes, as certain combinations of clothes can rub together producing a static charge, which is discharged when you touch something metal - i.e. the D3.IE - 05 D3 TDV6 HSE - Zambezi Silver

Despite the shocking replies to my original message I would just like to let them know that the noise was apparantly caused be a faulty fuel filter which was partially blocking fuel flow leading to the strange noise apparantly a RRS was also making the same noise but after replacement of its Turbo the problem was identified by a land rover technician . Garage have today replaced the filter under warranty and all appears well. Third disco have had a mark 1 then 2 and now 3 and now a 4
