A gearbox problem for sale

[Porcine_Aviator]

I thought it was cheap and then I thought it was a £2000 payout waiting to happen.

The last part says it all.

Sussex Autos FTW.

New box, auto or Geartronic, box is the same the loom is different. Don't bother trying to mend it cos it'll never work properly again . . .

You are so right. I took one look at the listing and thought oh no not another one please. It's the same spec as Christine and she has been a cow from day one. So if anyone is thinking of buying this, I'll say be it at you own risk, that year was a bad one for the V70 T5 P1

You could try the servo cover mod, fluid flush and a TCM reload but you'd have to buy the car first . . .

I don't know why - as these also have their fair share of reliability problems. FFS - made by a bunch of Brummies!?! so what do you expect - LOL

Landies -> Disco II are just huge Meccano sets. Tractors with weatherproofing and air con. That doesn't mean they're bad for off roaders, just that they feel like a half million rivets in loose association. Don't buy one unless your bank account will stand a regular blood -letting.

Freelanders are absolute ££££e! Don't bother. V6 horribly thirsty. 1.8 uses a new head gasket every week and the 2.0 litre diesel is either crap or BMW crap. Avoid.

In fact buy an S80 T6. It will be cheaper to run . . .
