| Gurgling sound / hissing noise |
|
Hi, maybe someone can advise me.
I just purchased a Discovery 3 yesterday.
I noticed that when I switch the engine off I hear a hissing sound (maybe air supsension) only lasts for a few seconds coming from the rear.
I heard it twice now and wondered if this is common or maybe someone has heard of this as a possible fault.
I also heard a gurgling sound this morning from the rear of the car. Again only for a few seconds.
Any Ideas???
Cheers.

It's normal for the air equipped D3 to fart at you. Scares the neighbours cat  and I never suffer from paw prints on the bonnet.

Cheers for that, I was getting a bit concerned.
Thought I might have bought something dodgy.
Though the neighbours cat does jump all over my truck. Uses it as a spring board over the garden fence!!!
Thanks again.

Will do thanks for that.
On another note what anti freeze do you recommend?
Noticed a warning on the display of a low level.
I hear Castrol SF isn't made anymore?
Cheers.
