I did mine too, if you can replace a gearbox yourself then it's not much more of a stretch to rebuild one. I'd even say that it is a nicer job to do than messing about with all those nasty seized bolts getting the floor and seat box off. If your layshaft is broken (in a SIII box) though, don't bother they cost about £150 I think.i've rebuilt it myself now for about £120.it isn't as daunting as made out,in fact it's really quite simple.no special tools required,and parts are cheap,mainshaft for example £29 +vat.i'd recommend anyone has a go.
Had my gearbox and transfer box reconed at aztec landrovers for £500. Its in deapest lincolnshire martins a top bloke he's available on 01507 358408 . Well worth it and seems to have stopped all (most of) my oil leaks

you're very trusting ...............you either can't have bought much or been extremely lucky...........or are you a cage fighter?you read the description
if it says "gearbox no known faults" - you buy it
if it says "gearbox jumps out of gear" - you dont buy it
