A few things have stopped me going down the repair route - although you make it sound easy!
Lack of suitable workshop space. I don't think Mrs would like a gearbox in the kitchen.
Also, I would pr ... |

Yep, Option 1 looks more than likely.
Next question is, do I go for an eBay lottery one or recon?
Like you say, the R380 is nice, so maybe I should just replace LT77 with "good" secondha ... |

Well, I selected reverse and the gearbox said "No". 
I feel a John Cleese moment coming soon where I start hitting the Landy with a branch. Give it a damn good thrashing!

Admiral multi-car policy. Never had it so good, TBH.
They even threw in 10 years NCD as an introductory bonus on the Landy.  |

I am ever hopeful that there is a Landy out there with more previous owners than mine.
Makes me think mine is a big lemon!

Just curious to know the average length of time you would own a Defender.
Let me start this off by saying in 25 years, my Defender 90 has had 12 previous owners.
That makes me #13 and based on the ... |

Cheers for the info, just what I need. I'll get the drill out later today.
I've got a fibreglass bonnet so drilling holes should be easy enough. I may have to trim a bit more than 1mm off the clips t ... |
