Hi all newbie here,
Brought our first Range rover p38 few months ago, had a problem with the gearbox whilst going up a rather steep hill (Porlock hill, north Devon) and it wouldn't go into first gear. Anyway that's another story for another day here's the situation now:
-When in neutral it makes a horrendous whirling, clattering noise (bit like metal in a tumble dryer I imagine)
-Can put it into all gear positions
-Noise disappears when clutch is pressed
-Noise stays when in 1st and gearstick jumps out of position when lift clutch
-Car will pull away in 2nd, 3rd, reverse, and sounds fine in 4th and 5th
any advice would be greatfully received, do you think I need a full gearbox replacement or can it be fixed. Wanted peoples advice on here so I can arm myself with info so I don't get ripped off by the garage!
Thank you in anticipation
Natalie
Sorry forgot car details, P38, 1995, 4.0 v8 petrol, manual
