Yes it was a complete re-build. I'll try adjusting the pump. Thanks Tetsu0san. BTW any of you who have a ZF gearbox in your Disco 1, ever wished you had a manual installed instead of your ZF. If so why? Just trying to make sure that i made the right decision here by going for a rebuild auto gear box.

Thanks Tetsu0san. My gearbox is well knackered. So anyway I will have to replace it. I'm thinking of getting an ZF auto box from Ashcroft transmissions in UK. At the moment it looks like the best option, rather than going for a major modification. I overhauled the engine recently and I don't think it has even 50 miles on it after the overhaul. So should i mess with the pump this early?

A little help guys...I'm from Sri Lanka and planning on bringing down everything from UK...so costs really matters...and Im doing everything on a really small budget. I'm really depending on this forum coz I neither have your experice nor your technical know how.(this is my first car and my first land rover).. Thanks in advance.

Hi All, Although I've been following this forum for some time now, this is my first post here. I bought a 1996 Disco 1 with a busted engine and a ruined BMW auto box. I rebuilt the engine and overhauled the Bosch VE pump. But that have not given me the engine output i desired(acceleration & torque) and I am now considering a gearbox replacement. And heres my problem. Should I get a fully overhauled ZF auto box (cheaper option) or go for a full manual conversion (expensinve option, but will pay for it self in the long run through better fuel consumption) with a used R380 manual gear box which I dont know in which condition it is, wear & tear wise.
