Sorry mate, I don't really know much about auto's ... definitely a manual kinda bloke ... so once you found it wasn't the drive-train there's nothing I could offer to further help!

The only wading plug on an auto is on the timing cover; the gearbox is sealed so I don't think it would be that.
Also I didn't have a wading plug in, and mine is fine. I did much more and deeper water too!

Yes, but it was quite a deep one. Anyway the point still stands - as did my Disco in the middle of the water
I put my videos on YouTube - really easy - but anywhere you upload them would be OK if you post a link here.

Having seen that video I now know why Paul kept telling me to go faster!! It looks really slow from the outside!!
But then the aim of the weekend was as much to survive as anything else...

Sh1t mate, not good, how long you had it? Any chance of taking it back and getting your money back?
Might be an idea to get a cheap ebay motor that's rusted and use it as a donor ...
Did the garage say what the actual problem with the gearbox was? It might not be economically viable for a garage to mend it, but the knowledge on here is pretty good and someone might be able to help you out with it.
