I wish I could buy a new seal as My 'old' Tbox only has 40k on it.

apart from wiring up a tractiion control button as a 2wd-4wd on off button i dont know anything about transfer boxes as even with all the miles i have driven i have never had a problem with 1 until i brought the le!! i have a 27k transfer box in lock up but believe it to be a different type to the box fitted to le

[Callyman]

As far as I know, there are 2 types of transfer box, one for the non turbo 16v and one for the turbo.
The turbo one can have either a twin or single wire temp sensor.

[carlossuperstar]

its a turbo transfer box ... i might be wrong but i thought where the single wire+ twin wire enters box its either a big or small sensor???? im going from memory of 2 years ago

There are indeed two sizes of sensor.

No. ?? P123 BNR is now in kent owned by me ...

headgasket gone and coolant hose split at 179.75/180miles its currently sitting round the corner of my house where it broke down

Engine rebuild time new pistons etc, or might buy a reconditioned engine and swap them

[LE16]

I contacted Vauxhall and they will exhange the engine for £1600+vat. Well worth consideration!!

Also.....the LE has the HH7 (strong block) I wouldn't ruin it with a substitute.
