Thanks chap. It's holding together for now. I'm gona nip up see my local Indy see if he can get me a nylon washer or if he as got one knocking about.

Thanks for your advice once again vanmancan. I'm not mechanically minded as you can tell but I've been out to it and that nylon washer clicked over the ball then clicked into the half moon and it's working. The nylon washer is in a bad way though any ideas of the part number for that ? Thanks...

So,it's not part ftc4746 then? Can get that at britcar

sorry dave the cable is fine. It's the lever as you can in photo above. Sorry for confusion pal.

No it's just broken on the O part that the ball fits into of the throttle lever that goes up and down to engage gears. See the photo in the opening post. Gearbox works fine. Just need arms like a prime Geoff capes to engage gears lol.

Yeah that's snapped. My local Indy reckons he's never known one go there before in all years he's been working on them.

You sir are a gentleman, bet it's a main dealer part only but gives me something to work to. Thanks again

The ball end is ok and cable is ok I think as I'm able to move the lever with the small ball on it by hand or pliers to engage gears . It's were the ball slots into the lever mechanism

Hi there guys I've done a search but can't find anything. This morning I couldn't get gears in my automatic td5. Got rac out and the linkage at the gear stick had snapped.i think it's the plastic washer type part that's snapped. Any ideas what I need to buy to fix it. Currently using pliers to...

I had my local landy garage fit me a recon steering box I took it home and noticed its still leaking but from the middle of the engine and passenger side front now. I took it back and he said he thought it was the oil cooler for the auto gearbox this time so I booked it in for next week. But I...

It's weird there seems to very little not even noticeable loss from the pas chamber but it's leaving puddles under the car.

I might give the brake fluid a try. Is it risk free or could the brake fluid damage the pump?

Where is the best place to get a new box?

Hi there I have developed a leak on my td5 and understand this is a common problem. Would chucking a bottle or 2 of this Lucas stuff do more harm than good or is it good stuff? Lucas is a good brand.

Found it it's Er7266

At least it keeps you on your toes lol :)

Isn't the tank a lot bigger on a disco though?

It was the axle seal.

I bought a kit of eBay to repair the starter motor. I bought mine late 2010. It's done 110k miles. Within the first month of owning it I had to have a new auto gearbox pump as it was leaking oil. I had the 3 amigos but that only was a dirty sensor. I've had new rocker cover gasket and the circle...
