Series 2A Fairey Overdrive

G'day Rosscoe,

Depends what you call noisy - if you're new to Series, well they are noisy anyway. There are an awful lot of gears meshing, and they all make lots of noise. I had a Fairey overdrive in my series for years & it was never noisy, compared to the main box or the transfer box. I had to remove it 'cos I needed the outlet for the rear PTO.

Can you give us a little more information?

Could be low on oil but "noisy" is a bit vague. Has it recently become much more noisy than before?

If there's a knowledgeable Land Rover enthusiast nearby perhaps you could give them a lift and see what they think.

Try thicker oil and a banana skin, and sell it quickly.

Or check that it has oil - its not part of the gearbox.

Or pull off the rear cover and check that the castellated nut has not worked loose.

Or see my first suggestion.

Thanks people for the reply, I took the advice and had some one who knows
