Hi guys I am in need of urgent help...
To introduce myself I have a 300tdi 1997 Disco Aviemore that works like a Trojan towing every day etc as I am a landscaper in Surrey.
Recently done welding to sills etc, head gasket done, new radiator, water pump, discs pads and new Bfg at's etc.
Yesterday whirring noise from engine bay and loads if hot plastic smells and smoke. Turns out no drain plug in gearbox and no oil. Car won't turn over as it appears the flywheel jammed. I need a new gearbox I'm told and need the car for work. I've been quoted £900 to fit a 2nd hand gearbox and new clutch including the Parts. Is this reasonable, does anyone gave a spare box or even want to do the work.
Help please. Nick
