If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The N/A-Team.

Ahhh, so simple, the seal must be sticky after 19 years! Thanks all, time to finally put in some good
oil (Reline MTL) and do the short shift kit. Hopefully this will make it shift the way it should.

No he don't - the level of oil on that dipstick means it'll never reach the top of the hole to spill out

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Ah but is it there to stop oil getting out or foreign matter getting in "If everything is under control, you are going too slow."

The rumours about me blowing a seal are totally unfounded.... 
No Geoff, don't even think about it....

Ok...new update on the car.
They pulled the tranny. I had the infamous bolt loose as well as my 5th gear syncro ring damaged. They said it was done and ready for pick up. Now I'm afraid to drive it cause of damaging it again.

This guy says differently:
We now return you to your regularly scheduled transmission maintenance.
"Refitting is the reverse sequence to removal, but you swear in different places."
