looking for manual D3 pedal box

Hi
I am looking for a D3 manual pedal box - can't buy new any more in Au or UK - currently searching NZ and USA. Does anybody have a wreck or know of a pedal box anywhere?
Thanks

John SVery few manuals came here like less than a dozen or so, if it's cracked have it welded.
I don't think they made a petrol manual so there'd be none in the US.

I am actually trying to convert my automatic P38 to a manual. Have 380 gearbox now need pedal box. Can't buy in AU or UK - recently declared fully obsolete! Now searching in NZ and USA.

Would a pedal box from an equivalent year Defender fit, or be modified to fit?

Lots of D3 manuals in the UK. Have you tried a wanted post on disco3.co.uk?

[Eric SDV6SE]

Have you tried any of the UK suppliers? Email Rimmer Bros, Advanced Factors or Island 4x4? Their sites list a lot of manual gearbox parts including pedal assemblies etc.

Hi information received from OEM distributor Britcar shows that p38 manual petrol or diesel pedal box was later adopted for D3 manual petrol or diesel. Drawings of D2 manual pedal box and P38 and D3 pedal box look very different. Not saying they cant be interchanged or modified but it would be a lot easier not to . I am starting to think maybe welding clutch workings to P38 auto pedal box? Any thoughts?

No I have not tried disco3.co.uk yet. I will try soon as I answer all replies THANKS

[loanrangie]

I would have thought that a RRC/D1 pedal box would be close to fitting since the P38 was released in 95 nearly 10 years prior to the D3 ?
What about from a 2.5 DI P38, did they come in a manual ?

Sometimes you have to think outside the box (pun intended!) Good luck!

Have you tried Triumph Rover Spares in Adelaide?
It's a long shot, but just a phone call.

In most cars the pedal box for their autos and manuals is basically the same. They usually use a common frame and the left pedal is just not installed. Have you checked this? If this is also the case of the D3 then you could just fabricate a clutch pedal and use approriate size bushes up on the shaft.

My Jag was originally an auto and I fitted a Commodore clutch pedal to the housing with a couple of bushes bought from an engineering supply shop. Actually works well.

As others have said and you are finding, very few D3s were manual so finding what your want will be difficult. The D3 was a new fresh design so I doubt a P38 or a Defender box will fit but a clutch pedal from one may fit your D3 pedal box.

Just an alternative approach to consider.

Hi Gary cripesamighty suggested a defender clutch box and pedal,a stand alone box and pedal and I think it would fit. But i was looking on the computer and came across a wrecker in UK .He has in a petrol v8 manual and deisel manuals. I,m waiting on prices etc now. The reason [s] I was asking for D3 pedal box is I have a drawing from allbrit showing PEDAL BOX ASSEMBLY{MANUAL TRANSMISSION} {RANGE ROVER [D3] 1994-2001} I can only guess [D3] = Discovery 3. I think this is an attachment on another post.

The D3 V8 never came out in a manual.

"RANGE ROVER [D3] 1994-2001} I can only guess [D3] = Discovery 3. " D3 did not come out until very late 2004 - early 2005 so those years do not cover a D3. 1994-2001 - Those years cover the P38 Range Rover and have nothing to do with a D3.

I dont think you will end up with what you are after

So I am confused as to what you are trying to do? Are you trying to covert a D3 to manual or do you have some other project where someone has said to use a D3 pedal box - can you tell us what you are trying to achieve?

Pedal assembly diagram attached for P38 (D3?) Hi 101RS, i'm trying to convert a v8 petrol automatic P38 to an r380, i have the 380, if I cant get a manual pedal box I will seriously investigate adefender clutch pedal box and pedal.If that fits it will be a lot less work.Attachment

As you have worked out John, the D3 reference was a bump steer just to cause confusion.

For some reason a few European part suppliers classified the Defender as A1-A2, Discovery as B1-B5, Freelander as C1-C2, Range Rover as D1-D6, Range Rover Sport as E1-E3, and Evoque as F1.

Good luck finding an alternative. Amazing how different the P38 pedal box is compared to the RRC/D1/D2.
