Why do you think I'm on here and
I am learning and I'm not trying to be a smart ass but thank you for your info
Also Butterkäse is a German cheese and is semi soft hence the name which translates into Butter cheese.
And again not being a smart arse

what they are alluding too is the GM5 box on the Td6 models suffered from a very poor quality aluminium for the valve block...
Excessive wear by the valves in the bores causes hydraulic leaks and slipping drive clutches. The Torque Converter lock up clutch tries to compensate for the slippage, and the friction material wears and dumps crud into the fluid - this then acts like a cutting paste and prematurely wears the friction linings on the clutch packs and the gearbox lunches itself!
Only real 'cure' if you can call it that is for a rebuild using a sonnax valve block....

Now that we all know that Google is your friend, perhaps you could have used it to find out the gearbox is made in Saarbrücken, hence the reference to German cheese. May I suggest an attitude adjustment or it will end up your only source of help.. Even the gentleman known as Saint will give up on you, should you continue in this vein.
You are trying desperately to get the backs up of the very people who can actually help you, should you be stuck with that lemon.
This is the last response from this call sign, as I refuse to engage with someone who asks for help then tries to be an internet warrior. Good luck with your future problems

We would have told you that if you had asked before you purchased the car. If the seller is prepared to refund your money then snatch his hand off.

Your wrong very wrong on both accounts. For 1 google is crap i use wolfram alpha and that works better when cross referencing on a vpn via Citrix. I give what I receive you made a comment about cheese so I let you know that the cheese you was on about was German I spent most of my child hood there and like I have said before if I've come across rude I apologise I don't mean to

As there is an apology, this call sign will respond.
I would firstly advise you take off your "only I know this" hat. I would then advise you pay a little more attention to the various backgrounds and knowledge bases of those on this site. We are many and varied, we live/have lived in every Country of the known World and work/ed in every field. Very few, if any , of us require someone to translate butterkase. I most certainly do not.
If you feel that post was not in the vein of smart ass, then without offence intended , I can only think you are working on the ASD scale. Which would lead me to say, re-read everything before you post it, and understand what is acceptable in the AG forum , is not acceptable outwith it.
As said before I wish you luck with your Range Rover problems. If it does not go back, this will be the first of many times you need help from the guru's, such as Saint, HC, Wammers, etc on here. If it goes back and you consider another, come here first and read up on what to watch out for.

In short range rovers are a condition, i find mine challenging financially, mentally, physically but overall i treat mine like a big puzzle that I'm trying to solve that continually evolves and presents new challenges, sometimes on an hourly basis. I have a constant sense of impending doom when i drive one but a pleasant sense of relief when i arrive at my destination and back home again safely.
i get pleasure from finally solving a problem with them that may have been bugging me for years.
There is a common theme in my life in the way that all my girlfriends have been totally bonkers in the same way that my two male working cocker spaniels are as crazy as a dog gets but this is multiplied by 10 when you have two of them together. That said i would not expect my girlfriend or either of my spaniels to carry me to Germany 3 times a week nor would i my Range Rover, that is a job for my Audi A3.
In short, what i am trying to say is if you want a vehicle that certainly has character and charm but will let you down, potentially ruin you financially, drive you insane but in most cases not to where you want to go then i would stick with it but on the other hand if you want a car to use as nature intended then i would try to get your money back as soon as you possibly can.

AhAh an Audi driver, could I just ask then..
WHY THE FÛCK DO YOU SIT 3” BEHIND PEOPLE IN FAST TRAFFIC CLIMBING ALL OVER THE BUMPER LIKE SOME SORT OF IMPATIENT AND/OR SELF IMPORTANT FÚCKWIT? IT’S DANGEROUS, INTIMIDATING TO INNEXPERIENCED DRIVERS AND BLOODY
ANNOYING FOR THE REST OF US! ALOS WHY NOT LEAVE PÍSSING ABOUT WITH YOUR IN-DASH DVD PLAYER AND THINK ABOUT ACTUALLY INDICATING ON ROUNDABOUTS SO OTHER LESS IMPORTANT PEOPLE HAVE SOME IDEA WHICH EXIT YOUR PLANNING ON OWNING? FINALLY, DRIVING EVERYWHERE AT 90 HASN’T LOOKED COOL FOR ABOUT TWENTY YEARS EVERYONE JUST THINKS YOU’RE A NOB NOW FÚCK OFF!
Good luck with the issues on your wife’s Landrover though.
