Thank you all for all your advice. I am new to mechanics, so would you be able to break it down for a novice. It sounds likeI need to take off the PTO plate. Sorry again for sounding a complete idiot again but were do I find this and will I need to drain any oil first. Also you mention LT77 is this expensive? Once I get the plate off I need to see if the splines are worn or broken. Do I also put in gear while running and see if it works.
Thanks again everyone who has responded.

I can't be bothered typing it out when there is an excellent video...



The landrover toolbox guy is excellent and showing you what to look for... I've learnt loads from him.

Half the fun of a landrover is fixing it yourself - but a complete transfer case out and gearbox mainshaft is not the place I'd start to learn.

TBH I wouldnt know - I'd do it myself so it would be maybe £200 of parts.. (eg http://www.paddockspares.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=lt77+mainshaft) and time - for a garage to do it it's quite a bit so could be £500+ I'm afraid. But I'd not like you to take that figure as read Im sure others on here can give better ideas than my rough guess.

If you are wanting to do it yourself then get a Haynes manual and go from there, but you are going to need jacks, engine hoist and a gearbox stand - it's a rather heavy and difficult to access lump. I'd be wanting a 4 post lift myself but I'm a lazy sod and dont like lying on my back to fix things lol.
