After the paranoia set it when you went to drain that transfer box and a dribble came out, I vowed to change the oil in mine.

Mike, these are so incredibly helpful. I'm about to take a part a LT 230 on my 1996 landcover disco 1 i bought for overloading and this has set me miles ahead. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these!

Thanks Mike, this video came in useful as my Discovery 2 decided it was going to eat its transfer case (a tooth came off and destroyed the inner workings, it sounded like someone was firing a machine gun) and I had to source a recon unit. Good video as always

Great video, didn't realise that the military LT77 was different, know mine has a big gap in ratios between 2nd and 3rd, screams it's head off in 2nd on a steep hill but go for 3rd and it's too tall to pull. Better since the 300tdi. I've got the disco transfer box, sits happy on the motorway now. Keep up the good work Mike.

Great tips mister! There are so many little intricacies with LR gearboxes and transfer boxes. I have never owned one but want to swat up up best I can before I even consider ownership!

[@davidwoods80]

Highly valuable information! Thanks Mike!

I have never seen a bad video from this feller... I'll keep looking though.

[@sanatandharma4435]

It is amazing to learn all of this, thankyou! Some thing been running through my mind are that vehicles, not just LR's are complicated things, made up of thousands of parts. Also when you removed the seat bulkhead on the 90 to improve leg room you cut through the metal. The Aluminium used is quite thick and sturdy. Landrover's really are bolted and riveted together and are customisable to individual wants and needs.

Cracking video, very useful and perfect timing too - I've just got a 2nd hand disco transfer box for my 110 - to do this next month. Cheers Mike.

My 300tdi R380 had the old gear in it when I got it and it was still functioning at 140k miles. Engine was completely unmodified from OEM. I still got the gear in my garage.

[@treewrightz4058]

great tips from the gearbox maestro ;0)

[@susanamelody7319]

Thanks excellent video!!!!!

[@axelboldt5101]

Thanks a lot , now my Discovery 2 has Gearboxproblem I have seen a lot dirt ion the magnetic oilscrew so I hope it will run a liitle longer till I get money together!!!

[@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures]

Thanks again for the enlightenment.

[@888johnmac]

braver than me .. when i'm using a diesel-fired hot water cleaner I need a full face visor & oilskins

[@fionanokelly]

I'd love to see a video of you taking down the transfer box on that disco 1

[@roberthughes6240]

if I were to check mine and it was okay but lacked the holes can they just be drilled or are there other differences to the gear? great video, thank you.

[@jamesbarker4808]

Brilliant video had me hooked. Your chipper is up must be spring!?

[@thelonemoomin]

If you dont have access to a steam cleaner I've always found Jizer (snigger) degreaser to work more than wonders. My old series 3s gearbox had a quarter inch coating of oil and dirt on it. One application of Jizer and a scrub and hose down it looked like new. ....... which couldnt be said for the driveway below 😫🤣
