Gearbox swap
lambert:
R380 boxes fit 200tdi's so at a guess the other way should fit too. Oh and unless it is an lt77s it will be lots less robust than an r380.

Sorry just seen this thread.
Yes I know for a fact that LT77 and R380 are interchangeable behind a Tdi in a Discovery
If you only have the main box then just swap over the transfer box and away you go. If it is as a complete unit then swap the speedo sender housing and handbrake setup (just two rings of bolts that are the same on both 'flavours') I have personally done both combinations of boxes and engines, if you see what I mean :)

ok thanks guys, that's another job need to do, and for the record I have tracked down NWT Transmissions who say they can recondition the 2nd gear crunch syncro all for £210 if you can get the box to them, or else it will be £500 plus for them to take the box off rebuild etc so could be worth a look when i fit my other box to get my older one rebuilt and sold on..................or kept just in case .......!!!

If it were me I would put in the lt77 as a temp mobility whilst I had the r380 re built, they are a much nicer box, and put it back in the car.
Pablo011:
Thanks lambert, they say it will take approx 24-36 hours turn around, so could wait for it to be fixed then fit the original repaired r380 back in but that does leave me with a lt77 box ....
