    God luck finding a 6spd , most likely have to be new and then you would have to find someone who can make the adapter for it to fit your tdi/td5. Alloy grill is off that dutch designers limited edition so again good luck finding one as none will come here.

    Quaife do a 6 speed 'dog box version of the R380, but it's a POA proposition, which I reckon means if you need to ask $$ none of us can afford it

    oh i see! well looks like both items are going to be very hard to come by.
    the making of parts to fit the gearbox shouldnt be to much trouble.were going to try and fit it to our isuzu in the near future the finding a 6 speed is going to be the hard part how much would a new 6 speed cost straight from land rover ?

    Land Rover Australia must have a few spare Getrags, a few have failed in the last month or so.

    The new 6 speed gearbox is made by Getrag, all the previous gearboxes from the R380 back have been Rover/Leyland designed and made.

    I reckon I've seen alloy defender grills in the English LR mags - plenty of different companies make them. Get a LR International mag and have a look.
