GBMUD Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Anyone know the part number for an R380 to fit a 2005 Td5 Defender? Better yet, anyone know where I might find one for sale - other than Landrover themselves? I am looking for brand new, not 'reconditioned' as I like the idea of another 146,000 miles of service.

Snagger Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Properly reconditioned should do the same. The problem is that most reconditioners skimp by using borderline parts and pattern parts. But any LR specialist should be able to source one through Gen Parts; I got a SIII transmission that way (which had been incorrectly assembled and had a failure after 10,000 miles).

FridgeFreezer Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Chris - you might surprise yourself if you ask a main dealer, my IRD was all of about 20% over the price of a "recon" blue-box one from the main dealer. They even did club discount! As, like you, I quite fancied another 150k out of it I felt it worth the bit extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landy-Novice Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 not new but shabs only does quality gearboxes. and he only rebuilds your own, not exchange so there is a leadtime. he can make hybrid R380's for big power and long liverty. http://www.syncrogearboxes.com/ but for part number. need you serial number from yours.

dirtyninety Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I would vote for Shabs too, the box would be better than new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroanaconda Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I had a similar thought a while back Chris and got a price for a new V8 R380 box from a dealer. Over £4,000... So funnilly enough I didn't go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBMUD Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 £2288.67 on Brit-car http://www.brit-car.co.uk/search.php?query=TRC103330&xBrand=&part_type=&xSupplierID=&product-sort=&xPerPage=10 Seems expensive! Cheaper here, but not sure one can actually buy it... http://www.lrspareparts.com/eshop/defender-td5-air-cooled-manual-gearbox.html Thanks Ralph, and everyone for the suggestions.

neil110 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I know you specify that you don't really want a recon box, but the R380 in mine was a recon unit from Ashcroft. I got it 18 years and over 200,000 miles ago. With regular oil changes and good quality oil a gearbox should do stellar milaeages. I had another 110 with a 300tdi/r380 combination, from new, and put 350,000 miles on it without any failures. The only thing I did was to shorten the oil change intervals to 10,000 miles for everything in the drive line (apart from the engine which I did at 5,000) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Chris, Give Dan @ Duckworths a call. Or contact him through fullfatrr.com or def2.net, I've found he provides the best dealer prices if you want an indication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Thanks Neil and Ed. I may just stick with the re-con I currently have, it appears adequate and will buy me time to look for a Discovery auto and a Compushift. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
