PipHonour Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 The shaft between the gearbox and transfer box has failed and worn the teeth and spline so that no drive is possible (2014 model). Landrover refuse me any compensation as the replacement was carried out by a non-franchise dealer. The replacement cost was getting on for £1,000. Has anyone else had this problem?

Retroanaconda Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Very common on Tdci-engined vehicles I’m afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Why did you not get it changed under warranty? Too late now, but Ashcroft do a kit to fix the issue. http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/mt82-output-shaft-kit.html Edited May 5, 2018 by Red90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallfry Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Warranty ? After four years ? This has always been a problem one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the LR only gives 3 years. That is sad. If he was out of warranty, why did he try and get LR to pay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Probably because it’s a well known issue so there may have been a goodwill gesture to be had. I fear though that that is unlikely. Land Rover have no interest in it - they had nine years to fix it and didn’t bother, in the end Ashcroft did as above. If it wasn’t such a shoddy design it would be funny. Years after the well-known issue with improper lubrication of the LT77/R380 output shaft was solved with the cross-drilled input gear they manage to recreate the problem in a different way with the naff MT82 bodge-tastic spud shaft.

As others have said, a goodwill gesture for a known fault would have been nice. I imagine though, that JLR would be making an awful LOT of goodwill gestures !
