hi I have a 1986 2.5 defender, I bought it knowing that the reverse gear jumped out, you need to hold it in all the time or it just jumps out, however this is not the reason for the post, recently an odd noise has appeared from the front end,I can't seem to locate the exact area but imaging the noise an old S3 makes in low range and multiply it some!!!
could it be that the gearbox has finally decided to give up the ghost? or could it be the front axle? ( this has had water in it following my playing around in the floods)!
also, I'm assuming that the LT77 is the same LT77 as in the older Discos? that may seem a silly question but did Landrover really use an old type gearbox on their (at the time) new state of the art Discovery!?!
cheers guys
