My 54 plate Discovery 2a TD5 (6500 miles) has a really lousy gearbox.
2nd to 3rd is without schyncromesh 50% of the time and the gear is engaged with a nasty clunk that allows you to feel the teeth engaging as it kicks back through the gear lever.4th to 3rd is sometimes impossible and reverse to 1st is just as bad.
So far all LR, through the dealer has had to offer is changing the oil, which if anything made it worse.
So, ive asked the Main Dealer what next, as ive had to endure 2k of this, only to be told LR will not replace the gearbox, although it is not an uncommon problem.
I am aware of my statutory rights, as ive taken some advice and did notify the MD within 3 days etc of my dissatisfaction after I took delivery, which was 6 weeks ago.
So, my question is, how widespread is this problem with new R380 gearboxes, and is there a history of LR replacing them or not ?
