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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
