Ghost in the gearbox td5 110 02 plate

Hej All, I am nu here, this is my first post and posting from south France.

Straight to the problems then:

Land Rover... only joking!

02 Defender 110 TD5 300,000 km:

Diff selector (manual box) will not move into Low ratio.
No problem switching between High Free and High Locked.
Clutch seems fine, no problems when selecting any gear.

Nasty vibration when accelerating normally and under moderate load.
Vibration peters out once at travelling speed but returns if I want to go faster.
Vibration feels like it is coming from below the centre of the vehicle.

Tyre pressures all good, not sure about the balancing (next sympton would suggest not related to tyres balance etc)

Climbed under the vehicle, checked prop ujs, where the front prop picks up the drive, this bit was too hot to touch. Rear prop was just normaly warm at either end, front prop normally warm at diff end.

Would love if someone can point me in the correct direction.

Gears wound up?

I've been given the vehicle by my boss for work - he says the Low selection problem has been there since he bought it 18months ago.

Tack sa mycket people!

First of all be a good chap and go and introduce yourself and you will get a proper :welcome: as that is in the

Mucky bucket

As far as your gearbox is concerned, when was the last time that the oil levels were checked? For some reason, the spinny-round things in the gearbox tend to like loads of oil sloshing around them, and if they haven't they have been known to stick together as a form of protest!

Whiilst you are at it, why not check the oil levels in your transfer box, engine and diffs?

Then come back and let us know how you've got on.

:5biagree:

Also the R380 gearbox is quite particular about having MTF94

Ahh Oldseadog! Sorry for the poor introduction - in Sweden that was like life history, we are you say.. economical with speeches!

Okej, so I am 48 - I move to France to escape evil wife and moaning ungrateful brats (old enough to see after themselves now). Here nu I work with an English gentleman making research in hydrogen fuel cells and waste digestors - we take any organic waste, convert this to hydrogen and carbon monoxide, wash this into hydrogen and carbon dioxide - then bleed off the co2 leaving just the hydrogen behind - bra bra free hydrogen! And co2 can be stored as potential kinetic energy for a turbine system

Only other British car I have owned was a old mini cooper which the wife-creature claims she knows not where it resides. Keep it Evil One.
Today I will check oil levels and report back - thank you for advice, hopefully it just the fluids?!

Best change it anyway by the sounds of it then

Tempted to quote more rules though they're more guidelines to be fair

lets just say we like pictures

Tack back you are "It" :fencing:

Okay - sorry for the long silence, lots of busy here. So, this is what I find, removed front prop and the UJ nearest g-box was needing lots of force and was hardly moving it's full 'path'.
Removed weeks ago, LRDirect send 2 x AllMakes UJ's.. French postie sends it back.. bless them and things.
Arrived today, fitted, no more evil rumble.. least not from the 110.

Here is picture, what I found as the cause was that the UJ had been fitted with the grease tit facing the transfer box coupling.. can it never have been ever greased, impossible to get the grease gun on the tit.
Picture of internals of the UJ.

Good doggy, happy to be running around barking at the French from 110.
White 110, bosses son argues with tree.. tree wins, I will fix this at some point, needs lots of money thrown at it.









Thanks for help, any clues why I cant select Low ratio? Diff lock in High and just High unlocked is fine. Try to select Low ratio and it is as if the gate has been welded shut.. zero movement.

Thanks all,
