Checked the oil level and we got milk...

Water has got in so going to drain and fill with fresh. Worked fine this morning but I still dont trust it.

hobbit:
Change it yes, but see if you can get some flushing agent for it as well, and then so a second change

Miniman:

Now I have the gearbox in bits the only thing I can see was the problem is that the tooth off the 3rd gear syncro unit was chipped off. So when I was going up hills it must have shifted about so as to be flipped up ontop of the gears and locking into place. When I rock the landy the gears go into reverse and the piece droppes off to the bottom again.

landroverkeith may be a good Idea to empty your box and then flush the box out with something like diesel. I once did this with my old renault five engine. I emptyed the oil and filled with diesel ran it for 2 mins then emptyed it and left it to drain for a couple of hours. When I filled it back up with oil it ran for about 2 months without the engine oil going black. It was a very clean engine after that. Flush the gearbox and see if you get any bits out.

Good luck...
