Its probably the same kit they flog to the MOD. my dad was in the RAF, they got a load of new landys and under the bonetts of a few of em it said in chalk "reject, for military use only"

Well that's comforting to know - the guys out there risking their lives for us at home have possibily got a dodgy gerabox fitted, just what you want when you come under fire!!

Cheers for all the help guys. I picked the replacement gearbox up on saturday, gave it a good clean and from the outside it seems in good condition.
I'm hopefully going to try and get the old one out next weekend and refit the replacement the following weekend.
Just out of interest, does anyone know if there is a gasket between the main gearbox and the transfer box? Or is it just sealed with a sealing compound like the bellhousing?
Thanks

Well after the shock of the mechanic quote and the offer from one of the lads on another forum I decided to give the gearbox changeover a go myself(with no real experience).
With the help of the missus and later the father in law we've now managed to get the gearbox out 8-)
Ive got to get all the bits transfered accros the transferbox etc and clean and rust protect where the cross member sits, and then hopefully I'll be able to refit the replacement box next weekend(a bit optermistic)!! ;DNot looking forward to that bit as there are two bolts that are blooming hard to get to(which I missed when trying to take it out) next to the clutch cylinder. If anyione has any tips PLEASE let me know ;)
A couple of photos, only cause I cant believe I acually got around to doing it ;D
