I use Gemm 4x4 in Larbert, Falkirk. Not quite Glasgow but its not far. They deal purely with land rovers, the guys are very good and George the owner is very knowledgeable and has been involved with landys for years. There's a scrappy on site too with some good finds on occasion
Get to know Mackies - with the GM box, you may just need them....

Do a search. Typical life of the GM box is 80K milesHi, why do I need to know them, something I should know. I have no issues with the gearbox.......
My car has done 102K with full service and pulls like a train and goes up and down gears smooth with no issues. Please, tell me more.

You didn't research prier to purchase then ? Lol
Gearboxes fail at around 90k+ miles
Do not know what you call a flush............ But here it is drop the pan and change the filter then refill

Get the oil and filter changed
cheaper than a new transmission and needs to be done.
Do not Megaflush....this thing pulls all the atf out and replaces with new....this can be a disaster for the box....new ATF is a good detergent and a complete drain and refill can cause all the harmless clogged dirt to become loose and trash the box....
A filter change and sump drain will suffice, then drain and refill again a short while after to try and dilute the old oil....
Nearly home time from work here so can't go to deep with what is the main problem with the GM box...but a good search on here will bring up the main issues with it!

Yes Mackies will keep you right for the autobox. The main dealer in Glasgow sub contracts all the broken gearboxes to them. Strathearn Engineering ( less than an hour away ) will look after the rest.
Hi, sorry for delay coming back, been away working with no Internet access. Spoke to a chap from Mackies, very helpful. Will get the gearbox done in the next few weeks.
Another quick question, does anyone know if you can get additional soundproofing ? I used to have a RRS SC and I am still getting used to change of engine noise, cheers.

I would also say it ain't a bad sound
Especially when you boot it with your window open lol
It nearly drowns out the radio haha
