Bad Rover day

[Blueboy]

my choice to sit, drink, and watch when others start dancing.

and it is my choice as well.

unless of course copious amounts of alcohol are somehow involved!

Ok, B-W shaft damage was cause of the problem. Now need to find a reman box either from Ashcroft or possibly Land Rover.
Thoughts on as transfer box is out, should I be looking at anything to do with the ZF transmission? 115k miles.

Nomar gets the chicken dinner.

Reman box ordered by dealer from Ashcroft. Now get to see how long it will to get here. Land Rove GB said NLA and even if they had one, 3,000 CHF! No wonder Ashcroft has a nice business.

Unless you have a penchant for keeping the truck as stock as possible. 230s are still pretty cheap and durable.

Agreed a LT230 would be a good option, yet, I'm in Switzerland without much in the way of tools and don't want the dealer to do the detail work. At this juncture with the Rangie it really is a light off-road vehicle now anyway so the B-W should be ok. Thanks though for the suggestion

Whenever I read or hear the word penchant, this scene pops up in my head:
