alfmech Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 hi guys my car is a disco 1 300tdi auto i have a problem in as much as the top of the gearbox filler tube has sheared off level with the top of the mounting tab and vanished. i have searched high and low and cannot find a replacement short of spending over £100 for a genuine part from the disti which seems ridiculous, i even placed a want ad but no reply as yet. could i trouble anyone to give me the expact measurement from the top of the bellhousing mounting tab to the very top of the tube so i can fabricate a repair section and get the old girl filled with oil and back on/off the road many thanks alf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Mills Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Try Rimmer Brothers in Lincoln, I just replaced mine, can't remember how much but its worth it to stop the oil loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
