Just bought a l reg 200 tdi and have a rather confusing issue so here goes on the gear stick the location of reverse states that reverse is across to the far left and up but to put mine in reverse is toward the right and back ?? Why is this has my disco got a later/early box on or has the selector been incorrectly fitted . This is my 3rd 200 tdi but can't remember were reverse was on my others as had them several years ago any info would be great
 
Wow thanks for super quick replies gearbox works fine apart from syncro on second gear crunches a bit but ok if change slowly out of interest anyone got an idea how much a box rebuild is for future reference oh oh and by later box is that a 300 tdi one
 
Yes and no lol it has a later bumper on but the lights have been taped up its def a 200 tdi tho

Same as mine then.. My old 200 bumper was rotten, so got a 300 on there now. The (end caps) fit isn't so good, but its near enough.

Mine fits fine but does look like end caps been modified a bit its had quite a lot of work done to it all round with checker plate on bonnet and sides also stainless exhaust as well as other stuff

Thats normal on a 300 box not really worth a rebuild unless its really bad.
 
Apparently it had all oils changed in June by a landrover specialist in sunderland according to the shed loads of reciepts not sure what oil type were used in box tho
 
Lucky for you though you've got the R380, the gearbox is one of the worst parts of a 200.

Has lots of character though :D
