ooo youve sparked my interest :D how much do the bits run to?

I saw a complete set of mostly genuine and a few OEM almakes bearings for the job go on ebay for £80 but missed it :doh:
 
is there anyway to test how the box is if its in a non working car or out of the car completly?

I have no idea of the history of the old girl but its rotten as a pear lol
 
you can feel it by rotating input shaft/outputshafts ,but you could send it or i could get it collected and go from there ,sometimes the dog teeeth on gears which are used to engage gears are worn badly in which case replacement is necessary but i have some good used ones ,hard to say
 
ok well I am going to have a go at getting the engine and box out next weekend but access is very limited where the car is so that shouls be fun :doh: but if we are successfull I'll give you a shout and we can go from there.

my current one is pretty noisy in 2nd and the overdrive is leaking like a sieve so maybe its time to get the ball rolling on a replacement and put the nice new overdrive zen sold me on a rebuilt box!

how much would the shipping be to you all that way up norf?
 
not free mate, many beers and bearings!

what do you drive james?

I have an engine hoist to load it into van if it saves cash- actually i coul probably lift it my self if we sort it before I get much older lol
 
the english version of my trooper lol

I was hoping you had a 2 door as one day we are hoping to have all our 2 doors working at the same time and do a meet!

ever go laning?
 
lol, wifes just come back from a night out with the girls and the taxis stuck in 3rd gear lol

silly leccy modern box :doh:
 
i would just say adjust it properly in the first place then...... can be a bitch to get perfect takes much patience my friend lol and if push comes to shove i have genuine latches and pegs ( the bits that bolt to the body ) in stock original landrover ones covered in dust from years ago ( they was there long b4 i started there and ive been there 11yrs!!)
