Not looking so good now is it? I get my gearbox bits from landroverdirect.com except for bearings and seals which I buy from a bearing supplier so that I can be sure of getting quality, (ie, NOT Chinese).
Nope!
But better now than when I've struggled to switch them over and find I've fitted a fubard gearbox

Yes, a fortuitous accident that it 'spilled its guts', at least you now know... I reckon it needs so much that it is only worth keeping for spares or perhaps in the hope that enough second hand parts can be acquired to build a decent box. I can see that the layshaft is u/s and other expensive gears as well. I hope you didn't pay too much for it; so much for "ready to go in".
I'll take better pictures this morning... Didn't see anything wrong with anything else, but I'm no expert

first and second pic show why l/s needs replacing the third pic shows the input gear which is part of input shaft not l/s

suffix a layshaft 576686 is about 40 quid
1st gear 591362 about 25 though its allways best to count the teeth to ensure it hasnt been altered to a later suffix,worth checking rev idler teeth too
Thanks again James I had a look but didn't find anything as low as that. I looked on Landover direct as someone posted above but there was no listing for series box parts. Where do you recommend to buy from please

Have a close look at the dog teeth on the first
Land Rover Direct do supply series parts, you need the part numbers, have you got a parts book? They are out of stock of the suffix A layshaft though but Paddocks have it.

No, the part number isn't stamped on the part... I wish it was, make life a bit easier; you need a parts book.I can send you a copy if you pm me your email address.
PS: Ignore the first line of my above post, don't know what happened there.

you need to be sure which suffix parts you need a lot of suffix a boxes were converted using an lr kit, a genuine suffix a will have a rev idler with a bush a later suffix will have a needle roller bearing,just google the part numbers, some lay shafts have a large c stamped on them that signifies it fits a suffix c and d, d can be distinguished from c as all dog teeth are coffin shaped on ds yours arent
