Nice to hear that same technique worked for you too guys.
Just for info, mine is still working 100% ( more than 6 months now).

Just been reading this with interest, good info to remember. Just a thought, has anyone had experience of a product called Superslide, its a graphite based lube used by Piano techs. I recall reading it being used to repair pots on vintage radios. It is painted on and dries, the more coats the less resistance,...

Thanks for the info on this issue. I pulled the potentiometer out yesterday, split it and tweaked the pins/re-melted the soldered joints and rejoined the two halves. High low now working perfectly.

This is definitely a four spanner job though!

Dont fancy doing another do you?

I'd be happy to. Frankly it's pretty simple once you get your head round it!

Likewise,

If you bring just the potentiometer (2 spanner job to get it out) it'd take about 40mins.

Same here for the Frenchies in need.  l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

I'll take you up on that offer, im near Leicester so not to far away, will be 2/3 weeks though as im on holiday after today

Drop me a message when you've back and I'm sure we can sort something out

No guarantees etc!

This is another product I think would make a good repair, its used amongst other things to paint cavities in electric guitars to stop Hum. Its black carbon based. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Electric-Wire-D...Sw8-tWW-vO 2007 TDV8 VSE

Got to ask, as LR are no help... is this not the same thing?

Only I can't for one minute think that it's a part that LR have commissioned specially for the ffrr.. it will be another off the shelf part re boxed with a LR sticker and the decimal point moved in the price  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Certainly looks similar, but the NV225 shift motor potentiometer has a hexagonal recess on its underside to locate and align it

Unless there is a nice chap in the US who might be able to cop hold of a S/H one and do a comparison... Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

This vidio shows the guts of the GM motor and Potentiometer swap. I wonder if the innards of the potentiometer could be swapped from the GM to RR one?

I'm wondering if it wont just fit.. it has the notch, but not the hex bit... but the hex bit looks to be raised so maybe the GM one will just fit

I don't think that anyone in the UK is going to answer the question.. as big engined GM 4x4's are like hens teeth over here... at least they sold them as the Holden down under. Best case is someone in the US has a crack at it.. those pots are only $39 new I bet that a S/H could be had for way less... or better still a duff unit from a garage just to see if it will fit  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...
