This is a real mystery.

My shift motor end cap. The deep drawn pressing seems to have a slight plit in the end and seems to be weeping? Im guessing the cap cannot be bought alone?

No the whole motor has to be replaced. Good to narrow it down though. Is it possible it is coming from the seal with the box and tracking along? There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

This really is a mystery - it sounds daft but it seems to be coming from the cable sheathing that comes down from the engine bay? Anyone have a diagram of where this comes from / goes to?

Is it possibly leaking out of one of the commectors the cables run into and tracking back up the sheath? Not sure where the other end goes, would hazzard a guess at the electronics box under the bonnet.

Are you sure its tfr box oil you are seeing, its a yellowish lube.

I had a look at mine and all seems to be well now, no additional oil around the bottom of the box! Looks like a result. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Well the plot thickens.......
Where the flange is for the rear prop, there seems to be a trail of oil getting to the flange and spinning off and hitting the cage and the sound proof material and then dripping to the floor. But - for the life of me I cant see where its coming from. There is no trace whatsoever from anywhere near the flange???

Is it possibly coming from the shaft seals on either the gearbox or trans box. Splitting the transfer box is permitted to change these so may be a point of failure on the tfr box. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I'll still have the casings from the teardown lying around in the garage somewhere. I could dig them out if they'd be any use to you.

Wow. Phil's Knowledge, Skill and time he puts into these teardowns is amazing. The difference between theory and reality is that in theory it will work.

If you could dig them out Phil that would be great. You can't get them from Landrover.

Managed to find the casings, and they seem to be in good condition. I never finished completely stripping the rear case so there are a few bits still in there.

Great
I will have them

Cheers phil

My car is a my 2010 (built in 2009) they will fit ?

I’ve got casting numbers of 845 422 7091 (front case) and 845 422 8031 (rear case) on mine. Unfortunately, because I bought the transfer case assembly on its own (eBay), I don’t know what model year vehicle it came from.
