Serious offroading is in order!

Well I am rooting for you! Drop some pictures on this thread to let us see what is what. Fair play there are no working ones with the ticket for less than 3k. You can think that instead of waiting to fix this one you should just go buy one of them cheaper ones that are available right away. But...

Cheapest running L322 on Autotrader is 4k. That is 4.4L and the cheapest TD6 is 4495 which is the one I posted above. So you willl probably come 1k shy of the buying price. By the way distance to the moon is 238,900 miles so not far off! :)

So to get it through MOT might be a challenge. Just to give you a piece of advice (and I like hopeless cars) just total the parts spend from eBay as a proxy. That will give you the exact amount of money you have to put on top of the money you will spend to buy it. I've been offered a L322 Td6...

The car drives like a treat. It just felt like a crash course in automatic gearboxes since I never opened one in my life. Now I got the other 5L40-E in the back of the van to pick apart and do some work on it. It came from a BMW but hey it's very similar. Now considering purchasing the Sonnax...

So the hopefully last update. Car was back in the garage at 8:30am. The box and the transfer case was ready to be fitted. Clamped the water hoses from the oil cooler not to lose coolant. New cooler in: Removed the rad hoses too for a flush. Then the box was in. Started the...

So the car started and moves around but I have a funny feeling that things are still slipping inside the box. I'm going to test the car for some time now and see if the results change. If there is not improvement I think I will have to check the pressure in the entire case and then probably look...

The box is back in so is the transfer case with prop shafts and whatever else was there the cross member and heat shields. Now change the cooler, bolt the TQ to the engine, fill the oil and then start which I will film just in case I will miss that self destruction. :)

Yeah you need the guts from the rest. Is that one touch screen tho? 2007 model. I am still picking up the pieces of my wallet from the gearbox failure so ICE will have to wait. :)

The car is on the ramp we are putting things back as we speak. In terms of the box I think I did contribute to my gearbox failure by pouring a normal Dexron IIIG oil in it. So it took about 4 months to put that nail in the coffin. Did you go for a flush or change in the end?

So the pump ring damage was not as severe as it looked. Sanding paper took most of the scratches out apart from one deeper one. And on another note the gearbox is put back into one piece now ready to be fitted on Saturday. I didn't bother you with a post about changing washers because in all...

Nice ride! When I posted my hello post the guys welcomed me with very warm "start saving for a new gearbox"! So I thought I would do the same ha!

My opinion is that they make it all in the same place!

You could opt in for a genuine unit from a newer year but I don't fully know what the requirement would be to fit it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Landrover-Range-Rover-L322-Denso-YIK500061-Radio-Head-Unit-Good-/291738608418?hash=item43ecf9e322:g:S54AAOSwYmZXEPyA

Hey, I had the same idea to do it to my car as I want something that takes AV input to plug the bumper cameras in to have a view. Apparently you have to cut the dash a lil bit to get it in. Here is a video.

I wouldn't do a flush just a normal oil change. Depending on the mileage and year of the car the gunk they want to flush out might be holding the box together! Better do couple of oil changes.

Haha! Is your gearbox going yet? I haven't made mine move yet so perhaps wait few days.

So today the gearbox juice arrived. And I put the new balls in the block. 3 days to go!

Hey guys thanks for all the input. There is nothing that you can't fix but it only comes to the case of "how much is it worth to you?". You can see the Jag restoration was possible - hopeless to some perhaps but still it turned out so well. I will take the trip over there soon I stay with my...

Thanks guys. I just don't want to mess anything up at this stage with the investment that I've made so far. :) I got the cooler today: Straight from Hella :) I got the gasket set for £89 as opposed to like almost £170 as an overhaul kit from AC. They also kindly sent a booklet...
