Quick Update. Had the car back now with the replacement Gearbox and Transfer box. Clunking gone. but.... I know it was one of the bloody things playing up, but don't know which one. All fine now apart from today when I put her in 'D' and I see '3' on the selector light and the dash jumping from...

LPG prices are increasing disproportional to normal fuel... it's no longer the big cost saving it used to be.

Apparently the only item you need to change over is the bell housing and possibly the valve block. Internals of the gearbox fitted to both 4.0 and 2.5 are the same but different bell housing to fit onto the engine in question. I know that some people upgrade some clutch parts to that fitted in...

Garage said VC was fine (tested when the front prop came off for the diff work).

@ James Martin > The faults are a clunking change down into 2nd and first when de-accelerating. The box oils where changed but the front diff then eat itself which after a change has not fixed the org fault... so the garage said it could be either the main box or the transfer box. The reason...

Hi Guys... been off for a while.. busy having a new born baby. Now its time to get the old girl running again but need to replace the Gearbox and Transfer box due to some wired and wonderful clunking and gear changes. Have been waiting for my Garage to source the box but after a month -...

I've done shed loads of research on the net about making it... there are as many different mixes as there are users...lol What's your way?

YOU SWINE!!! You've just got a Nudge bar, and now a winch... just what I was thinking of doing on mine... pic of the final install plz

that's the reason for the second battery...

yes, I've read the thread... I've also read through the most current version (Here). It clearly states that "Vehicles used for the carriage of goods by road and with a maximum permissible weight (including any trailer or semi-trailer) of over 3.5 tonnes are in scope of the EU rules...

I was thinking of doing the same thing... my interpretation; Any vehicle (car, van or whatever) with a GVW of 3.5T or above (this includes any trainer part load or full it might be towing at any given time) then you are subject to EU Driver laws, assuming that you conduct the journey for...

Just found this post... interesting. I seam to have the same issue and yes... my auto dse is in the Vin range. I also think that my ECU has been chipped. My questions: a) Can I just plug and play the replacement box? b) Can you test the old box for the fault across any pins? c) If the ECU has...

In trying to respond to the question in hand.... I think it would be fair to say this. As the 200 developed into the 300, and then the M51 came in to the range, but all on different basis. This, more than one element of the package is being changed and therefore its the 'package' that you...

That could be a new hold up technique... no need to do an armed robbery any more, fume them into giving you the cash.... or in this case - family bucket with coke and ice cream...lol

LOL!!!! If that valuation of £30K was worth anything - The seller would not be accepting 30% off at £20K would he????
