@Mr Freedom could yu take the vehicle to any of those places @flat has suggested?
yeah it's option 1 or 3. I'd risk it and get repaired in France but that will probably be considerably more expensive, unless your buying wine, cheese, or a house, France is pretty expensive ... We'll figure it out, thanks again for help.
If you are a true beginner (which is sounds like) at the start of your land rover maintenance journey tackling it yourself on your own is probably a little too much, but it would also be one of te best learning experience you could have, especially if you have someone who know what they are doing to help out. Depending on how much prior experience you have it is a fairly straight forward job and is all just nuts an bolts. t can be broken down into smaller jobs which then do not appear to be as daunting:I wish I had the knowledge/experience to take on something like that. But I'm a beginner ... During this conversation I had to google propshafts and UJs :-/
Cheers for encouragement! But I've no tools here and no space to work, and, I don't even know what a transfer box looks like. I've booked it in with Gumtree 4x4 for next week. The bill, no doubt, will encourage me to improve my knowledge and have a go next time ...
True but you can pick up a second hand transfer box for about £75, even a disco one if wanted. Can get through an awful lot of those before you reach the price of a rebuilt unit.No warranty
