and I'm sure she'll serve you well once you've done the gearbox. What part of Hampshire are you from? I have a very good Landy breakers near me. Got lots of P38 bits so should be able to help you out.

Thanks, needs an exhaust, as it's a bit loud for me!
Just outside Andover.
Would that be Martin your talking about?

If you swap the box, fit an HP24 from a 4.6 P38, much stronger.

Thanks, is this a straight swap?

Nice colour

Can't see a problem buying with a known fault when you know the cure, congratulations!

Hence the Golden Rule:

Never ever buy a Range Rover with fault(s) UNLESS you are prepared for and understand the POTENTIAL costs, frustrations, time and relationship killing that are involved in repairing it.

Most RR or LR product will develop a fault sooner or later, usually sooner so it's a case of being prepared for the inevitable...even if it is fault free when acquired.

More or less, use your bell housing and torque convertor (a new one is better) and you may have to change the oil pump.
