New clutch, new gearbox, new tranny box, new radiator. Not bad for days work I don't think. Head gasket now to do one night this week..
New gearbox..
Box joined box..
And just changing the clutch, that turned out to be good nick anyway!!
****note I did this without removing any floor pans or seat box etc, just the tunnel cover!!!
It is possible, abit of a fiddle but quite easily done..

It's a 2006 with 82k on it. We've had a good look over (and under) it and can't see anything wrong but we are no land rover experts!

Took it to see the friendly local welder.
Much head shaking, muttering about plates and questions like "Who does that to a car ?"
Good news: she's getting fixed for Christmas
