potato head Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Rang up the good people ay Ashcrofts today to order a cross drilled input gear for a 1.2 transfer box rebuild only to be told there out of stock and won't have any in until Feb / March - shock horror!!!!! Now I've heard stories of people using 'other' suppliers and encountering noise issues, this was also mentioned by Ashcrofts. So where should I go to get a good one that's not the price of a gold bar and not supplied in a blue box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Presumably Ashcroft are just buying from Land Rover, so try them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potato head Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Ashcrofts are approx £50, LR will do you one for £200+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoltan Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I think you ought to edit this thread title as it gives a bad impression on Ashcrofts, hardly their fault their stuff is in high demand? Fair point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris113 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 It may be worth ringing AW Transmissions. I've not had any dealings with them, but a friend used them for his disco and found them to be very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potato head Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 In no way am I bad mouthing Ashcrofts as you have read into the subject line Zoltan but they are unable to supply an item that I need so I am asking for help on where else to go. I have nothing but praise for Ashcrofts as they have got me out of the mire on many occasions but on this occasion they are not able to help so I'm looking for alternatives, that's all.

steve200TDi Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I see where Zoltan is coming from. My first impressions of this post was that you had a set of ashcroft shafts and they had failed. That's evidently not the case! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potato head Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Could a MOD please change this topic subject to 'Where to buy a good FTC5089 cross drilled input gear from' please as I cannot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Cheapest bet then would be a second hand box with one in. I got a 300Tdi box with 30k miles on it for £70 about three years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
