You’ve got two? I had two for a year and my M6 and it was a very expensive hobby so the one most rotten went! do you drive them for different reasons? Current stable:

Officially, the 2012 is my Dad’s car that he bought new in 2012. It’s a pampered one. It gets detailed annually, lives inside, has never seen salt or rain and has only just ticked over 23k miles.

It’s on it’s original tyres still but they’re getting changed in a week or two as I noticed yesterday when checking the tyres that they’re pretty cracked on the edge and when driving it I noticed they’re getting a bit noisy on the road. On it’s original discs and pads too. It’s as close to a new one as you can get I’d imagine.

He needed it this week and seeing as we’re only an hour and a half from home I took it back today and fetched my XFR. Bit of a ball ache but not worth loosing a weeks holiday due to a knackered gearbox

I know where I’m parking the XFR if the weather turns…

That’s sounds a great car your dad has - the only thing I don’t understand is when people are doing that little mileage why wouldn’t they just get a petrol? Generally less issues and no turbos and injector or egr issues and whilst more to run it’s negligible at that mileage. It will be worth a few quid if and when he sells it mind as it will have a lot of life left in it! Current stable:

When he bought it the plan wasn’t to do so few miles they just bought other cars afterwards that have been used instead. Although his last L322 had only done 25k in 5 years when he sold it.

He likes the low down torque from the diesel and also the range. He’s used my SC a few times and gets fed up with the fuel stops. When his L322 comes out of the garage it’s usually for long trips to see family down south or similar, it doesn’t do short trips anywhere and doesn’t come out unless it’s going to get warm so EGR and all the other diesel issues shouldn’t really be an issue on that one I guess.

If it is replaced, chances are it’ll be staying anyway now.

Well, that's us back from holiday...

The gearbox is in the workshop, the 20 litre drum of Lifeguard 6 is in the workshop, and there's a box of bits been delivered from Rob at Duckworths... Tomorrow I'll figure out how I'm going to get the car from the lawn into the workshop and hopefully we can get the box replaced.

Anybody done it before or got any pointers?

I had a good look at the new gearbox today. I’m a bit peeved but a bit pleased at the same time.

There are brackets on the side of the gearbox that you remove before removing the box. They hold things like the wiring loom, selector cable, etc. All 6 of these bolts on the side of the new gearbox are sheered and have the bolts snapped in the holes.

Some of the lr stuff I.e mafs is backward so it maybe a 2017 replacement especially if the sticker was in tact - is it a straight replacement even from a disco? Current stable:

Yea, the 4.4 AJV8 and 4.2 SC share the same box. The part numbers on LR are the same and Mikey and Craig confirmed in my other thread.

That’s an interesting point, I’d forgotten they date the MAF’s backwards.

The box is very clean and every sticker is intact so it could well only be a few years old!

The SC is now on the ramp so we can begin replacing the gearbox.

I used the old P38 to drag it out of the field and back onto the yard.

Over the weekend in between cutting and baling the hay and avoiding the heat I swapped the transfer box onto the new gearbox, replacing the o-ring on the transfer box, coating the shaft in the special grease and then replacing the bridge seal, 4 oil seals and the mechatronics seal in the new gearbox.

I removed the transfer box from the SC today. A much easier job then I thought it would be, thankfully. I noticed that when moving it between ranges manually it was stuck solid in one position but free in another.

There's your problem...!!! Waiting for an update with bated breath....  Pete
