Welcome to a Landyzone
From sounds of things, I’d say take it to an independent local garage and ask them look at gearbox for you. Could be just oil/filter change, blocked cooler or a few things. I presume you are not going to carry out/investigate yourself so trustworthy mechanic is way to go

The only good thing about a P38 is you don’t get all those welding burns

I’d have loved a Disco2 but I need it to drive not spend 8months pulling it apart and learning to weld properly As a project vehicle it be great. P38 was cheaper comfier change to the defender.

The Disco's are bad for rust D2's chassis arse end falls off then the electric's go mental as you have a pond
in the footwells from the leaking sunroofs & it rots just as quick inside as out, on the plus side youl be a great grinder in
6 months smoothing out your welds
My D2 has a galvi chassis & so does my defender
nuffing to say about my D1 Hello this is fun, Anyway when i stop and try to select park or any other gear tje sifter is very hard to move compered to 1st thing in the morning.
It comes on the dash gearbox over heat check hand book. Everything works drives will change gear fine.
One thing i have notice there no dip stick to check the gearbox oil, is that odd?

re checking oil levels early boxes had dipsticks later models you have to get underneath to check . When I had my gearbox changed had a dipstick fitted to make life easier. Need to follow Rave to check oil correctly
