Prufster Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hi there, What is the model of your Defender (engine, gearbox, model year)? I had very poor fuel on my MY2000 Disco 2 and it was the air flow meter. I changed it and now it's fine. Concernig the gearbox, as teddychad suggested the best to start with is the oil and filter change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
