well about a year after i got my rover, i drove it to shreveport,La. which is about 100 miles from where i live, and somehow all of my fluid leaked out of my tcase on the way back home , unfortunately it started seizing, and i looked at some TSB's for the LT 230 and it said some things about the Tcase not sealing properly along the outside of it, so now im hunting a small parts rebuild kit.

You can probably buy a good used one for well less than the cost of rebuilding.
I'm pretty sure Ashcroft has a rebuild kit, so Lucky8 likely has one in stock.

edit: Yup, they do, £95.00 so about $160 FOB UK.
