    maybe this thread should be moved to the Discovery 1 section?


    I have been advised today that the box needs a reco or replacement.

    My options so far are;

    Local guy who did the assessment can reco the box and install for 3.5 to 4k with a 20/12 warranty

    LRA has a 100000km second hand unit for $1450 plus installation with 3 month warranty or reco units for 3K plus installation

    I can import one from Ashcrofts for about 2.5k ( plus any payable import duties?)- this surprised me!

    Rovacraft are going to call me back if they have a good second hand unit.


    If anyone has any other ideas to assist an economical fix then I would appreciate them.

    Have you stuck in a bottle of Nulon Auto treatment? Might be worth a go perhaps
