    It was a hilarious conversation, but he said to keep it. Something about claiming it and giving his wife a stuffing!

    Back then I'd bought a quite a few shafts from Tom, when he was getting into D2 stuff and he also did my shafts for custom jobs for Engine and drive train conversions etc, he would send over spare socket flanges and unis when I was going remote travelling.

    Thanks,

    Another option might be to call British Offroad on the Sunshine Coast who have about 100 Landys parked out the back and might be able to do a deal.

    Once again many thanks for all the help and discussion, particularly to those who commented on my personal need for a gearbox. It appears there are still options out there for those of us who appreciate the original Discoveries. I have learned a lot from the wider discussion and the shared experiences, and I would assume others may have too.
    The car is going over to Burwood later this week and hopefully I will be able to report on the experience a while later.
    Cheers,
    Woolly.

    Our D1's auto was rebuilt by a workshop in Coffs Harbour who did a good job.
    I was told ZF have a workshop somewhere, maybe Melbourne from memory, which does them.

    I dealt with these guys some years ago, business to business not gearbox related.
    I remember they did 'factory' rebuilds for a lot of car manufacturers.

    From their website they claim to be the only ZF Australia certified remanufacturer.
