    Gear problems

    The gear stick does return to the centre ok however there is less resistance pushing it left. But the resistance does seem to come from the gear stick, not the gear box, it's almost as if something is blocking the gear stick preventing it slipping easily into first or second gear.

    Couple of scratchy head problems

    Read on the the user manual that it could be the gear box is over heating, and it did start after I towed a heavy trailer, could it be the gear box needs an oil change?

    Couple of scratchy head problems

    The land rover specialists had the car on the ramps, had the wheel of, took it for several spins and were still none the wiser. Said he would have to strip the wheel down to track it, only thing he could think of was the cv joint, any guides on that?
