Hi there I’m a recently new owner to a gorgeous defender 110 which I’ve always wanted & finally found the perfect one (until this happened) lol

I’ll upload a file of what I’ve found would appreciate any input on best way forward & I presume not to drive it until fixed?

basically was just driving round locally after a 300mile trip & then felt a big clonk/bang/jerk & hazards came on & wouldn’t go off until engine switched off & restarted it wasn’t until I got home & got right underneath I noticed a split in the front part of what looks like the transfer box ? God knows why this has happened so any advise would be great

Thankyou
 
Were you playing with the tbox when this happened?

Changing gear using the tbox?

Cheers
I haven’t even touched the Tbox as I don’t even no how to use it I’m literally a newbie… so just from using normal gears

I’ve just been looking online and that side piece unbolts that has cracked on mine so could I possibly just buy replacement side piece & top oil up :/

just throwing ideas out here ;)
 
You need to know which part took a holiday and tried to make a big for freedom.
Or maybe you don't.. just source a replacement and swap it. I can't imagine it's worth even thinking about a repair.
But as said, can you give it back to wherever you bought it and let them fix it?

Something made it go bang,

If you got from a garage/ dealer take it back.

If you want to fix it your self you will need to send it to a specialist and get it rebuilt or speak to someone like ashcroft and get a recon unit.

Otherwise you are going to be stripping it into piecs and buying all the components to fix it.

yea I suppose your right think it will be a whole unit, I will try them tomorrow but only issue is there 6 hours away from where I live so I can’t just drop it back there as easy as that l :/

as mentioned above the garage I got it from are 6 hours away I can’t imagine getting much joy from them so think it will be on me (just my luck..)

any recommendations for a specialist in around the Colchester,Essex area?

Thankyou guys

Sorry, not my area, give the garage you got it from a call, and ask them their thoughts, after all it will cost them to send a truck to pick it up.

they may know someone local who can do the job and charge them.
