It has been a real pain.......all told seven/eight (at a rough guess) garages/LR independents/gearbox specialists just can't be sure what the problem is, they all think different. Plan is to get a decent prop' on there which takes that out of the equation. Prop, gearbox pinion bearings, transfer...

It's a long story TD.....but shortened down I had a problem with the car, one afternoon I heard a bang from underside (might/might not be connected to issues) then a metallic spinning noise from NSF, 'clink' when on/off power and gearchange felt/sounded wrong...took it to an independent and...
