Evenin all!
Our trusty Disco 2 has thown a wobler in the Auito box department.
The full story...
First thing it did was pop a cooler supply pipe off. No big deal, new pipe & oil then crack on. Thinking to my self, give it a hundred miles or so then do the oil filter & oil change. About 40 miles after fixing the first problem (oil pipe) suddenly decided to do 20mph tops & struggle to get over the cats eyes. Dropped the oil, smelt like a burnt clutch. Changed the filter & filled with fresh oil & just the same. 20mph tops... Funny thing is, goes great in reverse...
Now, is it time to weigh it in or is it salvagable?.
Many thanks in advance all!

@jamesmartin is the man to talk to here, sounds very similar to mine. Your box is buggered. Options are, recon box from ashcrofts, 2nd hand box (risky- i did it and it only lasted 8 months, or find someone who can fix it like james. (Who doesn't live halfway up the country like james!)

it would need to come apart but may well be salvageable
