Think Gearbox is F**KED

Hi all

being on holiday for a week 250 miles away all fine TD5 towing well, on the way home just put diesel in to get me the rest of the way, pulling off no problem, just onto the motorway changing from 4th to 5th a big clang bang grind for a second and Ive got no drive what so ever, tried 4th and had drive so carried on in forth to next services 40 miles away as I had small children on board, just wanted to try to see if I had the lower gears before tackling the M5/M6 interchange at rush hour, gets to the services and I have no gears except 4th, take it the gearbox is whacked and needs a recon fitting, is this correct? also is this a hard task on a TD5?? any special tools required? and also is there any picks of anyone doing this before , have searched and found nothing

cheers

Yep sounds like its terminal........

4th will still work as it goes stright through the gearbox, all the other gears are on a lay shaft.

www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/ have a good reputation, from memory I think there is a video of a box being rebuilt on the site as well if you choose to try it yourself

Thanks for the reply,

I have had a quote from Landy Ltd in Wrexham (they are VERY competitive), they are a LR specialist, has anyone had any dealings with these??

cheers
