How do I know if the Transfer Box is kaput.


This Defender is quite noise although this is mainly down to nil sound proofing, however there appears to be a prominent groaning during the general road running. It is a 300TDi with an R830 gearbox. I am able to select all gears without any real issue and there appears to be good pull without any distinctive delay. I'm a little concerned that this is the knock of death but I am not sure.

If anyone has any ideas I would welcome any input!!!


Failing this does anyone have a good working transfer box suitable for a Defender 300TDi for sale. Depending on whether the gearbox has incurred any damage I may also be looking to purchase a good used one.

As always thanks guy's :5bcheers2:

It's not really aloud clonking type of noise, rather a loud groaning noise. It drives off without any obvious issues. Someone suggested that it might be the transfer box but i am unsure.

I knackered my tranny earlier this year during a day out on Salisbury plain. It would still drive ok, all gears engaged, etc but when driving there was a horrible rattling/grinding sound that never went away :mad: went to a couple of mechanics I know and they both said swapping the box for a recon one was the easiest solution.

hope it's just a UJ!

That's sums up my issue precisely. :)

How much can I expect to pay for a good used or possibly reconditioned transfer box?! Pretty disparate now!!!:eek:
