Next time you think " Better put the gas burner back in the rover" remember it may only be a day or so till you spend 3 hours hungry and freezing your bits off and waiting for recovery by the side of the M9....while looking at the two tins of soup in the cubby box.  :-(

Bought an auto box for my first Disco from Ashcroft and never had any bother with it.  They were very explicit about flushing out the oil cooler etc though.  Maybe I was lucky as I managed to speak to Dave Ashcroft himself who talked me through a load of stuff to try before condemning the box

Whatever you do, avoid Beaumont 4x4. It took three boxes for them to deliver one that didn't have issues.
