I'd probably just do the plate. It looks like convert rubbed the bell housing from not being attached to the engine anymore, but from the photos it looks superficial. Not legal advice. No warranty implied.

Take the type numbers off of the autobox and post them together with the data below.

Look at the Ashcroft website autobox's and note the numbers. Get the numbers off of your autobox (it ends either 22 or 24) and note the truck Model, Year, Engine number if possible and VIN number of your truck. Then either call Paul Grant who seems the guy for used spare parts or failing that get in touch with a reputable LR supplier, typically, Rovers North. Give them all the data, gearbox number, engine number if possible, model, and VIN number and ask them to supply the parts you need.

Check the alu bell housing carefully for damage or any cracks arising from the TQ failure otherwise you may do a lot of work re-installing all for nothing. Good luck. If you want to tow heavy loads with the LR install an uprated TQ and flex plate. Remember that hard acceleration and snatching when towing wrecks TQ's, autobox's and transmissions not least driveshafts - smooth and steady is the name of the game.

I've towed >3.5 tons over thousands of miles with a 2003 TD5 at speeds up to 80>mph with no problems but you've got to accelerate slowly, steadily and smoothly.

Question Numbers off Trans

I'm not sure if these are the numbers I need to look for, but
The Bellhousing sticker says 010430300690346972
The Transmission sticker says 312-1043030069-4003104-10
and some numbers on the Torque Converter just say 092-200

Do these help identify anything??

It is none of those numbers, it will be either of these 4HP22EH or 4HP24EH if it's a D2 V8 or TD5. The type number is on the autobox side.

If you get in touch with Paul Grant as drowssap says I'm sure he can help you out as he's probably seen more autoboxes and TQ's than all of us put together.

Thumbs up Found the numbers..

I looked and found the number plate hidden mostly by a shifter linkage part...
So please help me identify the model and type of transmission this is, and I found my harmonic balancer weight as well..
I've been told that this a ZF24 transmission.. I guess thats correct

I am seeing this transmission in cars such as Audis and BMWs... Is that the same transmission and bellhousing set up as my truck?? Is it the same torque converter as well?? Does this mean I can shop a BMW junk yard?
I was once told that Land Rovers are kept in the junk yards with the Corvettes and Porsches, which rarely get junked...

You can email ashcroft transmission. They are usually pretty good about answering questions. Maybe even send all of your photos and they can give advice.

ZF 4HP24 transmission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This from the Rave:
The automatic gearbox is a four speed unit with electronic control of gear selection, shift quality and torque converter
lock-up. Selections on the selector lever assembly are transmitted to the gearbox by a selector cable. A gear position
switch on the gearbox transmits the gear selection to an Electronic Automatic Transmission (EAT) ECU, which
outputs the appropriate control signals to an electro-hydraulic valve block in the gearbox. A mode switch enables the
driver to change the control mode of the EAT ECU. The EAT ECU operates warning lamps in the instrument pack to
indicate the control mode and system status.

The gearbox features a pressure lubrication system and is cooled by pumping the lubricant through an oil cooler.
On NAS market vehicles from 03 model year, the ZF 4HP24 transmission unit is introduced for use with the 4.6 litre
V8 engine. This transmission is required to accomodate the increased power output of the larger engine.
The ZF
4HP22 transmission remains in use on vehicles with Td5 and 4.0 litre V8 engines.

Both transmission units are of similar construction, with the ZF 4HP24 unit being 15 mm longer than the 4HP22 unit
to accomodate a larger fluid pump. The operation of both transmission units is the same.
