Hi Fekete,
Don't hold your breath mate, mine went in for an gearbox oil leak 2 weeks ago and its still not fixed! They had to send the gearbox to a specialist to repair a seal "inside" the box. Any ideas what this could be? Anyway, gave me a Freelander to run about in meantime. I'll see how it gets on in the muck tomorrow. Willie Defender Virgin |

How would seals have anything to do with a "dong" noise - sounds more like mechanical wear than seals. Puma 110 - gone Series III 1973 - going strong |

The locals here in the Cape Flats put banana peels or grease to queiten any such noises when selling on their cars with noises in the gearbox or diff.

fekete, how did the 2 nd gear problem start and what was the time line, as mine has become hard to engage when cold but is fine once warm'd up ?

DCH, Same as bud hard to engage when cold and better when warm, it's always been awkward but been getting worse, I told the dealer from the beginning there was a problem and it's just been recognized now, I've had the problem that long i can actually get it into gear no problem now but when the mechanic drove it it crunched every gear there is a nack to driving my lanny hopefully once the gear box has been replaced it will drive normal.
Hope this helps 
DCH its in next Thursday ill have it back Friday if you want to try it against yours no problem mate NEVER TAKE LIFE SERIOUSLY. NOBODY GETS OUT ALIVE ANYWAY |

Fekete, can you explain the 'dong' noise you experience? I have a sound, when moving for the first time, either in reverse, or forward - it sounds like a stress 'clonk/dong'. Metal fatigue, or something of the sort. If it is a rear diff, or the half shafts, then I will get the guys to look at it. I would like to sort out everything before the warranty disappears.

Hi Chui, Same as you've explained when moving off for the first time clonk/dong. the dealer replaced the half shaft rubber spacers with up graded ones they said it was them ? as on inspection they were split but the clonk/dong is still there its in on Thursday for new gearbox . I will be mentioning the clonk/dong again ill keep you posted on the out come.
