  1. Having an absolute feckin nightmare. I got the gears back up and running. Changed the clutch plate,fly wheel and installed full clutch kit. 700euro lighter but everything was running smoothly. The mechanic who did the work is a friend and has a good history with defenders and 4x4s.I drove it for 4days and after doing 300km or so started to get a weird dragging and grinding sound as if something was loose in the gearbox and dragging on the road.the noise is there through 1st 2nd and3 rd gear after that it disappears.my mate is on the other side of the country so he asked me to take it to mechanic.. Ended up in land rover garage..they have given me a diagnostic of complete transmission and gearbox failure. News is I can spend 10 k on new gearbox and transmission or rebuild for 3k but my friend the mechanic says very unusual for the two to go at the same time. Td5 160 on the clock. It seems ludicrous to everyone I have spoken to. Any advice? Frustrated!!
  2. I have a 13 year old td5 defender 110. Recently the gear stick is grinding and struggling to get into gear.I've bled new clutch fluid through the clutch master cylinder and replaced the piston cylinder at the bleed, but it's getting harder to ingage the gears.I'm a bit worried about driving as I don't want to do more damage. And am worried that I'm at the mercy of a massive mechanics bill. Has anyone any ideas as information is king. Thanks for your time and advice. Cheers
