Torque converter

rojohex · May 16, 2021

Hey guys new to the forum and am looking at making my first landy purchase.
Have seen a discovery for sale in need of a new torque converter so I started looking but can’t find a new or refurbished part are they hard to find?.

Any ideas where to look and what kind of price they sell for?.

Hey thanks for the reply. Yeah I had seen a couple on eBay but fancied somthing a little more guaranteed, any ideas where to get a refurbished?

I would say that if you are considering buying a Disco needing a TC that you budget at least a grand to 1500 in the price, and thats if you are spannering yourself.
The D2 will have to be cheap or very nice in every other respect.

Yeah I was thinking around that for the work, I won’t be doing this job as no time or space currently.

Replacing a standard TC is not that difficult, but finding a V8 one is becoming difficult. I would start by speaking to Ashcroft who may have a refurb one in stock. https://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/miscellaneous/torque-converters/torque-converter.html
However, when I needed a V8 one for my TD5 they had nothing in stock and no idea when one would be in. I finally found a decent one at a breakers, had them send it to Ashcroft and had them refurbish it and supply with the adapter plate. I reckon the total cost - buying the TC, having it refurbed, buying the adapter kit (which you don't need) and having the TC installed by a LR specialist was about £1200. The labour cost of fitting was higher than planned as they had not fitted an Ashcroft adapter before and consulted with them a lot. I reckon you will have change out of £1000.

Hey so click thanks for the info that’s very useful and probably moves this vehicle out of the maybe pile as it puts it over it’s value really.

The p38 also used the medium sized TC. I think it was mems, but Ashcroft state on their website.
