I Need a New LT77 GearBox and Transfer box

(1/2) > >>

Sharpshooter:
Hi, My brothers hicap 110 200tdi needs a new gearbox and transfer box. He want to buy a new one or a very good recon, as it is his work vehicle. He has had a bad experience of a Rubbish Recon box and wants the best. I have heard that (ASHCROFT ?) are good but i have no contact details :D  :D  :D . Has anyone got an opinion on them, or any other reputable places o go. Also contact numbers, or websites would be good. Many Thanks. :D  :D  :D

They know what they are talking about... are well priced and the service has always been great when I've dealt with them.

V8MoneyPit:
http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/ have been around for some years and do have a good reputation as far as I know. Haven't used them myself though. They certainly seem to carry stock so you can get a box quickly from them. Some less specialised places will need your box to rebuild slowing down the swap over.

I brought a diff from them about 4 months ago - pinion seal started leaking and they promised on 3 occasions to send me another - nothing ever recieved- so much for the good service.

spose I had better contact them again.

Six and two threes, springs to mind. I now know of two people who have had issues with Ashcrofts fitting service, although the boxes seem good (after 60k miles on one it would seem that the synchros on second aren't playing fairly - but thats pretty standard).

Our local (heroic) Landy specialist goes to City Gearboxes in Coventry (as do all the local taxi people), but that's not really any use to you!
