You need to find a really good LR mechanic 
Can you explain exactly what you are after? Rebuild or replacement?

If you want the box replacing then you will drive past about half a dozen 'well known' LR garages to get to me. Gumtree in Lewes, Brooklyn Engineering in Romsey, Challenger4x4 to name the first few I can think of

Most decent indy's AND alot of main dealers use Ashcrofts.(LR often are on backorder with gearboxes - along with everything else.....) Ask for a price to fit an Ashcroft box - makes sense.

OK, they might not be the cheapest - but I hate doing a job twice,putting up with the grief etc.At least Ashcrofts stand by what they do.Same as Richard Turner with engines.and then hope yr numbers come up on the snottery to pay for it
