Wtd as new or recon td5 defender g-box/where to buy (mids)
I'm looking for a replacement gearbox for my 1999 TD5 defender.

Mine has now covered 200,000 miles and reached the end of its life Rolling Eyes

Will also need clutch kit and flywheel (Valeo or similar) if someone is prepared to do a package deal Question

If it is on an exchange basis then that's fine as I will removing mine when the times comes.

Happy to collect as long as not too far from the midlands Thumbs Up

I have a gearbox.... 44 thousand miles, removed from my own Td5 Defender prior to it being stripped for it's rebuild. No longer a Td5, so gearbox not needed.

And yes - I have experience of AW transmissions - top bloke who does nearly all of my gearbox and transfer box rebuilds. Doesn't fit them though (but neither does Ashcrofts - they outsource).

I can also do you a good price on a Flywheel and Clutch.
