do a bit of photoshopping: Black A and D pillars, a black band between the rearlights, exhaustpipes that come out straight rather than angled and a diffusor under the bumper to lower the line. And loose the reflectors if you can.

Soo, how about fitting an engine steady to balance the engine movement, there a couple of heavy duty shocker type ones on the market. If BLMC can harness the A-series, so you can harness this one.

Hi Mick, still selling? Not sure about the auto, but may be pm me? Cheers, Gernot

The original tool LR is available as well, sets you back only € 763.52 plus Vat.

Actually, I didn't. If you move the lever, you can feel the forks moving and the resistance of the revering gear gate. I did have that happen once, but that was on a Mini ;-)

No, nothing engaging at all. I can put it in any gear including reverse, without the slightest change in engine noise / noise, grating or anything, can move transfer box lever high-low and so on. I have not looked at the oil, but had changed oil about 1 k before without anything falling out the...

No, no noises at all, didn't make any either when it lost drive going uphill.

So, that leaves me with the option gearbox shot or clutch, both box out options as you don't think it is worth having a look at the transfer input shaft. Is there a third option, like crankshaft thrustwasher fallen out or other delightful things?

I have only jacked up one wheel (the right front) and it turned stiffly, which I had a look what actually turned, even opened the bonnet to see if the engine turned as well (just in case...) It made no difference if it was in gear or not.

OK, have jacked it up at the front, bar on wheel nut, wheel turns and turns propshaft. So that would mean that the viscous coupling works, right?

ok will try tomorrow and report back, that certainly cleared some muck today. Thank you!

Yes Borg Warner ok. But viscous?

Ok, the Range is on blocks right now. I can run the engine in any gear without drive. Move transfer lever into any position. No drive whatsoever. I get under it, turn front prop, resistance after about 10°, same with back prop.

See on the right, this is the "tin cap". It is not a soft dash, it is one of the Italian engined Diesels, pre 200TDI.

in fact that is what it looks like, if that happens.
