Hard to tell what you mean by 'rumbling'.
Take a video and post to YouTube, easier for us to hear what you mean -- 2010 Defender Puma 90 + BAS remap + Alive IC + Slickshift + Ashcroft ATB rear 2015 Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged Defender Puma Workshop Manual: https://bit.ly/2zZ1en9 Discovery 4 Workshop Manual: https://bit.ly/2zXrtKO Range Rover/Sport L320/L322/L494 Workshop Manual: https://bit.ly/2zc58JQ |

I would do a gear and xfer box oil drain and refill with fresh quality oil.
My gearbox seemed rattly /noisy when I got my Defender (with a light ~17kmiles) and a refresh of the oils has noticeably quietened it down, and improved the shift. I used full sythentic oils in mine and I wouldn't wait for the LR specced drain intervals for these as they seem far too long. 2023 110 P400e |

Would you like me to ask Phil to phone you about it? He's on his own today so slightly manic but I'm sure if I ask him nicely he'll give you a buzz! |

Should be new oil in the t/b as that was only recently stripped down by the dealer with my mysterious difflock problem.
http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic17503.html I have had it suggested today that it could be endfloat on the output shaft if the shaft was not preloaded properly in the t/b on reassembly. I recall they were pigs to do when I tried swapping my old Range Rover LT77 and fairy o/d, I gave up and left the O/D off. Given that it is still under extended warranty and I hate changing gearbox oils (hmm must do the series soon) I will leave that to the M/D He who dies with the most toys wins Defender 90 & 110, S1 80", Disco 1, S111 88 LRSOC & CVLRC |

Thought I would keep you all updated.
LR Warranty have agreen to replace the box a second time What kind of mileage does everyone else expect out of an R380? Some folk have said they had nothing but problems. Currently my 110 seems to eat a box every 15K. And I doubt its my driving as I tend to use anti stall to pull off, dont rag the engine, cruise at 60mph and never rest my hand on the gear lever. When its in 5th its fine, and hauled the caraven 800+ miles last week as well as a 400mile round trip before that to haul a discovery home on a trailer.

An R380 should be good for well over 250k miles if looked after, and probably twice that. Mine's approaching 210k and is better now than new. It'll never be a great gearbox, but it is long-lived.
Is LR fitting brand new, or remanufactured, units? If the latter that may be the problem, at least if my steering box experiences are anything to go by. |

Just another update,
Fecking poxy cruddy Land Rover Ltd. Over two months now the replacement box has been on back order. I have been informed by the dealer that there is no end in sight as apparently the company that reconditioned R380s has gone under and LR are trying to find a new supplier. FOR THEIR OWN POXY GEARBOXES, yes I know its an R380 but all the same Grrr,, arse feck bollix poxy dealers. Could have saved £500 on extended warranty renewal and had a PROPER job done by a PROPER mechanic. He who dies with the most toys wins Defender 90 & 110, S1 80", Disco 1, S111 88 LRSOC & CVLRC |

Could you approach Ashcrofts and see if an arrangement can be struck with LR? Darren
