Thread: R380 changeover box

That's not good mate, sorry to hear you're having issues with 'Elmo'

Prices and ownerships change. I'd be ringing around few local aftermarket LR specialists ( eg Range Rov in Mitcham, Les Richmond, Ritters, Fred Smith, 4WD Spares, Roverland, All Ranges 4x4 and others in the Recommended Suppliers section ) and see who can do the best price.
Do you want "supply and fit" or "supply only" ?

Hi mate , I'll be fitting the gearbox myself to try and keep the cost down .

Whats wrong with it?
Most places that do a changeover charge around the 2800-3500 mark, that's providing that there is nothing wrong with your box. Kinda stupid I know, they keep your deposit if there are major components that req changing.

Try the Toorak Tractor company in Braeside (95872866).Adrian put one in mine a few years ago and its still running sweet.Rang plenty of places and he was the best price at the time.What is wrong with your one?

A few of the gears have deep pit marks . All the bearings need replacing . A couple of teeth have chips in them . all the seals need replacing .

So you have it apart then? That's pretty much the biggest hill with the R380. If you are capable of pulling it apart then 1/3 of the work is already done.

Give British Off Road a call - they do exchange reco boxes - Justin C just bought an R380 from them for a customer car apparently very happy with it - 07 5445 1094
