I Need a New LT77 GearBox and Transfer box

I've never had any problems with Ashcrofts although have fitted whatever I bought myself. Dave is an university friend of my brother so I've always gone there and got my 1st Land Rover via Dave. They do have a lot of stock so stuff arrives quickly.

Dave,

The pinion seal on the diff I got from Paddocks also started leaking very soon after fitting it. I assumed a design fault.

bit of an update here

I moaned at ashcrofts electronically , Dave this time replied and promised to send the seal,  and it turned up as promised. :D  

Sam and I have fitted it today, thought that i had better check the breather banjo as the diff 'hissed'when the flange was removed.  guess what -  found it to be completely blocked with solid gunge/crap.


OOPPS! :oops:  :oops:  :oops:

so the leakin diff was no fault of Ashcrofts - sorry.   but it still took them weeks to send the seal until the main man got involved.


Dave

Guy90:
Dave,

Land rover pinion seals are just crappy I suspect! I've always gone straight to Dave so never had any problems.

Always go straight to the top I say!


Guy
