yeah but cost will be to high for value of car, heard prices from 800 to 1500

plus its getting colder outside and i'm getting to old for messing around with cars in the wind and rain lol

depends whats wrong ,could be a little ,i often use parts out of one box to make another feasable after all its only going to be part of box thats failed not all

would it be worth just have a small part changed if it was only a small cheap item, thought it would be more cost effective if it was out for a total rebuild?? thats what i was assuming and i dont think it would be worth it in that case

cheers

what do you think a total rebuild is ? i know because ive done it

ok will try the shafts in it tomo and see if it is the auto and might be able to explain more of whats wrong with it then if poss bring it or get it sent to you if thats ok.

cheers

well finally have an end to this story it was/is the auto box, did what i said and used the shafts but still locking on the turns so as far as i know it must be the box,

but may not be so bad just waiting to hear about another freelander 03 reg with td4 engine gone recon box about 15 months ago full leathers 5 dr. so itll be a case of swapping engines or having this box done/looked at.

many thanks to all who have posted help on here really grateful for all the useful info and hope this thread will help others.

many thanks to jamesmartin and will pm you when we decide which way to go with it

thanks again all

cheers

Process of elimination... Job well done in my book. A lot of folk would have thrown in the towel by now.

Just as a last note, is it worth taking a look at the box yourself? As it seems a mechanical fault surely it must lie with the final drive...just a thought.

Good luck, hope it's not too expensive.

wont cost anything to stand box with bell housing upwards and remove ,

Bugger! Take JM up on his offer quick

might have a look at it cuz was interesting taking the ird unit apart n seen what was inside to make it work so i have a bit (only slight) idea of how it works, still waiting to hear about this other freelander
