Hi StuckAgainSteve I am planning to use synthetic oil and considering Manatec. I see you say that it is not proper synthetic and would be grateful for any info. you have on this so I can make an informed decision. Thanks Doug

Does anyone have a new genuine Land Rover windscreen seal for a Classic (Part No MXC6360 or MXC7405)? Thanks

Just an update. shortly before the gearbox problem arose (immediately following the fluid change), I had been experiencing a juddering sensation when reversing once the car was hot. The garage suggested that this could be caused by the hand brake shoes binding so adjusted them. This did not...

Hi No, you are right it is the same question. I just thought it might be worthwhile trying to reach a bigger audience. Thanks for your help.

Thanks to everyone for all the information and advice. I checked the fluid before taking it in for the service and it was clean with no apparent signs of contamination and the garage has confirmed that they did not notice anything untoward. So I will drive the car for a few weeks in the hope...

Ive read that the gearbox can be flushed by disconnecting the cooler lines to the radiator and running the engine while topping up with fluid. Is it worth a try?

The gearbox has been filled with TQF, which was also used at the last 48k service. Do you think it would be worth draining the box and then, possibly, flushing with something like Fortes auto box product and refilling with Dexron D111? Or am I just clutching at straws?

James - The old oil was clean. Is it possible/likely to cause more damage if I leave it a week or so to see if it clears itself? Is this something which could have been caused during the oil/filter change? It is the original gearbox which has covered 170,000 miles and the car has been serviced...

Hi I would be grateful for some advice. I have a 1988 3.5 auto RR and have just had the gearbox fluid and filter changed at a 48,000 service. However, since then, when driving from cold the gearbox does not change up through the gears (gear lever in Drive position) for the first couple of...

Nathan - Thanks for the response, did you ever discover what caused the failure?

Yes, one at a time.

Thanks for the advice James. I have done what you suggested and both wheels turn smoothly in each gear, including reverse.

Hi I would be grateful for some advice. I have a 1988 auto RR 3.5 which has covered 168k. When reversing slowly, and usually with left or right lock, I regularly experience a shudder from the car, could this be anything other than the gearbox (there is no problem at all when moving forward)...

Hi Im new to the Forum and am hoping for some advice. Can anyone recommend a good bodyshop that has extensive experience in body repairs to Classic Range Rovers in the London/Essex area or even further afield, as I am willing to travel for a good job? The reason I ask is that I removed my...
