Land Rovers... I Love Them!

Just paid to have the LSE front CV joints & brakes renewed... and the Disco transfer box dropped it's arse out the back...

Not happy!

No way!

Thats not good, will the Disco be sorted for next weekend?????


If it makes you feel any better, my Series One (still) isn't starting...




Before Nick B and Steve dive into this thread:-

#1, Yeah we know.
#2, Its a Land Rover thing, you wouldn't understand.
#3, Yeah we know.

Well.. all it needs is a cheap decent Tx box and a couple of hours work... oh... and a new UJ for the front propshaft.

Fingers crossed... but we may have to drop out... don't particularly want to go round in the LSE... no snorkel... A/T's... standard height... Can hear all sorts of polishing noises happening!

Will keep you up to date.

Roger that mate,

There is space in my wagon if you and Auntie Catherine need seats,

Oh...! Hadn't thought of that! Ta much!

Learned something today... learned if the juice gets squeezed out of the transfer box... it goes bang...!

Took the dead one out... tipped it up to move it across the floor... and heard a rattle as broken teth tumbled down the inside... drier than Saddam's flip flop in a drought!

On the upside... got a replacement on fleabay for £8.50...!

Tommorow's job is putting it in!

Confuscious once heard to say "buy chleap, buy tlice".

He then buy chleap Rand Lover. Now he say "buy on fleabay, get bucket of used bolts and a lengthy wait on the hard shoulder".

Or so I heard.

Yeah.. he was promptly evicted by the bailifs as he couldn't keep up with the rent after buying a brand spanking new transfer box!!!!

Amen. Just had to fork out for a Brake Vacuum Pump for the 90, just 8 weeks out of warranty. Grrrrr....

Land Rovers.........................Natures Way of Putting Iron Back Into the Earth!!!!!

Well, that made a mess of my screen and keyboard

Only fair you should get your own back Nick, only fair.

Probably far too late but if you're stuck there's a 200Tdi Transfer Box sat in my garage, far as I know in working order. I got the whole assembly with the engine I was after. Kept it 'cos you never know when you might need another bucket of bolts! It's a Land Rover thing.

Thanks Mike... but the £8.50 (I just have to keep saying it!) is doing a sterling job now it's in!

See you in Wiltshire!

Mike - Great to see the camaraderie in place already.

Two matters re this chain of posts:

1. We discourage banter between the LR gang and the Jap 'n Jeep crowd
2. Frank thinks that £8.50 is a bit on the expensive side for a Transfer Box

What can I say... it's in my genes!!!

Too much detail there Frank!

I dont beleive for a second that Frank has £8.50 in his jeans(may be under his mattress)

Only needs another £1.50 and he'll have enough to buy another Landy

That much, or is that to take it away
