This was a satin finish that was easy to touch up and didn't show any marks. Lee

Sible, if it's the right one consider it sold, how much to drop it round to Ashcrofts? I will need to wait for mine to arrive to give you the invoice number so don't deliver yet. Maybe Jai could have the transfer box and me the gearbox, I will happily pay for both. Cheers Lee

Well on the way to getting there, finished welding the rear chassis today. Haven't got any idea what the had done as was fitted when I bought the car, although don't think it's original, the clock says nearly 200,000 but who is to say thats right as pretty sure the engine has been changed as...

Turk you're a hero, although sorry to be a pain but if it's not the same type of box there's no refund of surcharge. The way to know is from the serial No, just below the filler plug you will find the No. it's the first 2 numbers and the last letter that count, mine is 56A0152632H making it a...

That don't look so bad to me. Just hit it with a hammer.

Yeah cheers guys, but had to make a decision, we need to get moving again so ordered a box from Ashcrofts, it's on its way here as we type, been busy welding rear chassis today, promise to upload piccies tomorrow. Another reason we need to get going is that the couple who have allowed me to...

If I get chance in the next few days to investigate further I will although at the mo I need to concentrate on welding the rear chassis mamber that has just about vanished. Had to decide whether to risk the chance of something else going wrong or just trusting that an Ashcrofts box was the way...

Thanks bob it's always good to know that you're there, and not here.

There will be those that have looked at the problems we're having with our gearbox on the "calling international rescue" thread and those that haven't, all I need to ask now is does anyone have a scrap 56H LT77 box they dont want that could possibly be donated to Ashcrofts on my behalf? Beer...

Hi Jai, as you suggested I've ordered a recon unit from Ashcrofts today, they need a 56H unit as replacement, any chance you have 1 or know someone who may have one?

Hi just a quick update, have ordered a recon unit from Ashcroft engineering, £900 or so pounds, but so be it, have to agree with Jai and others that in the long run it's the best way to go. Ashcrofts have said that they require a replacement unit "like for like" to avoid me paying a £200...

If you do end up changing bthe clutch, it is possible to by sliding it back and resting it on the crossmember, this is how I did Cassies' about a month ago. 1 trolley jack and a bottle jack to help put it back. About 3 hours to drop the box and the same to put it back. Sounds like clutch to me...

Right we arrived in Vientiane a couple of days ago without any issues, dropped the box yesterday, it's looking like a phone call to Ashcrofts is on the cards, there is a guy here who plays around with old series, Will see if he can help regarding tooling, if not it's a recon unit and will speak...

My RRC used to do this, it was water in the fuel, my problem was a leaking fuel cap allowing ingress of water each time it rained. Lee

Anything is available here Jai, Lao Ford City the Land Rover service agents owe me so they will help with tooling I'm sure, as already said wont know about rebuild until I've taken a look inside. Lee

Yeah know these people, Lao Ford City are the service agents and complete rip off merchants, needed oil and filter change, missus said let someone else do it for once, it's only oil and filter will be ever so cheap. 248 dollars later. As it happens they might be able to help with tooling, need...

Cheers buddy, 1,200 dollars and no waranty, don't think so.:eek:
