Oh, I can't be arseed with taking this up with L/R any further, life's too short...! Mark.

Pulled the Transfer box today and stripped it. One bearing collapsed, NO gear damage BUT.... main casing cracked! Does anyone have a spare casing? Is a Transfer Box from an Auto TD5 the same as the Manual? Cheers, Mark.

I'll call Land Rover today, but just in case they don't fall over themselves to offer me a new free Transfer box, then has anyone else got any ideas....? Mark.

If it had only done a small mileage, then I would have no hesitation on taking it back to Land Rover, BUT, I fear that after over 100,000 miles (most of those with a trailer), they would be very sympathetic to my cause.... So, what IS the 'common fault'? Is it what I have experienced? and What...

Whilst not new to Land Rovers I am new to this BBS. I run a 1999 TD5 which has now done just over 200k and whilst not been perfect, I can't really complain. No mods to it except for a 'Superchip' and a TD5 Alive EGR Bypass. Still returns an average of 24mpg (which I would like to see a little...
