I drove a couple of LT77's and hate where reverse, notchy as hell just like the LT95 4 speeds. Then went out and bought an auto, gald I did.

I now have a 83 with a LT95 4 speed. I was sure when I got the next one if manual it was a 95 and not a 77. If the latter, I would of converted my ZF auto over quick smart [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

In ther 77's defense, I don't really know people who have had big issues with them so they must have some strengths :?:

My LT77 is pretty good, if a little rough around the edges. Sure it's no R380 but that's not an option with the 200Tdi engine. And yeah, I have selected R instead of 1st once or twice. But only from a standstill, I hasten to add. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

BUB91 came with a (interior) reversing horn,,

you INSTANTLY know if reverse is selected-- 8O 8O

An interior reversing hotn... another LR innovation.

It's not the pedestrian's business if you're about to run them over - after all you are probably landed gentry and they are simply the working class [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] .

EDIT: Sorry - got a little off topic there, blame Pedro. Back to the thread....

What year did Land Rover drop the manual option from the Range Rovers?

Hi guys, could someone tell me more about this drilled gear on the back of the gear box? I have a 86 county It has a 5speed santana gearbox. Does my 5th gear need fixing before it breaks? Thanks Deano
