Hi All!

Just wondering if anyone has had any dealings with these gents before? They have a good webpage, and look very professional, I just haven't heard much about them!

I'm looking at putting a 1.2 transfer box in my td5, and it may as well be a recon one as I font want problems biting me in the ass down the line.

As standard they uprate several things when reconing.

Having heard a fair few mixed reviews about Ashcroft Transmissions recently, I'd like to go somewhere else. Any thoughts or reviews on these guys? Cheers!

Old, nackered 'n broke, but the Landy is fine . :)

Never used them myself, can't afford to, but have a couple of mates used them for recon gearboxes ... and they reckon they're ace!

They also do the slick-shift addition to the defender gearstick to make it more precise and easier to use and having driven a defender kitted with one I'd say they got it spot on!

I'd use them if I needed to.

Thats great Paul, just what i wanted to hear! I saw a small article about the slickshift in LRO and it does look very well engineered! Price wise thats why i only want to do the transfer box, my mainbox could do with some work in the next few years, but if i drive accordingly and change gear with 'feeling', (syncro's are slightly worn) its perfectly fine and unnoticeable. Thanks mate!

Only read good things and met him in person at LRO seems like a stand up guy and by all accounts better than Ashcroft.

They will be doing my gbox and Tx box when the time comes

Slickshift is the single best mod I've done, makes the Defender better in every situation!

Shabs is a good guy, very friendly knowledge and helpful!!

Bought the 1.2 transfer box final drive kit from Ashcroft's along with a new DMF flywheel and clutch kit. Great price for the flywheel and clutch kit, £400ish
instead of ~£1400 from the stealer. The parts were Valeo same as the OEM stuff that they replaced. 1.2 is great in my 110 aswell. A+ for Ashcroft's from me,
Mike.
