Just to add an update to this thread, I’ve put a couple of Dr Tranny tubes into the gearbox and it seems to have cured it....at least for now. So long as it gets me through to May when I can get it sorted properly I’ll be happy

Bristol Transmissions just built me a stumpy R380 for my 110. Very happy with the service - price was better than Ashcrofts and it came with more bits. I went to them after bad experiences elsewhere following the good reviews on here. When a problem does occur with the D3 it will be going to them too.

I’ve picked up my D3 from Bristol Transmissions on Friday morning. £1499 later and with a new Torque Converter, fluids, filter and a new sump, with a 12 month (12,000 mile) warranty.
The journey down to Exeter and then back to Hampshire was great, lovely smooth gear changes and cruising nicely with no more bouncing revs.
Bristol Transmission took the car on Tuesday two weeks ago and road tested it, suspected the TC main bearing was shot. Left it with them. Two days later they’ve tested the fluids (no contamination thankfully so no suspected leaks or water ingress) and they have tested the gearbox itself (no replacement needed thankfully) so advised just the TC change. Took a week and I collected it on Friday. Delighted with the service and now I have 12,000 miles of warranty freedom on the TC and gearbox setup.
Their initial road test diagnosis was spot on - the bearing was shot. Thankfully it had not damaged the gearbox so I caught it early enough. They’ve advised box fluid flushing every 60,000 miles so I’m going to put that on my schedule. Hopefully with proper care the TC won’t fail again. 2022 BMW i4 M50. Bought Oct 2022. 10,200 miles and counting...
2014 BMW 435d convertible. Bought July 2021. 58,000 miles and counting...
2005 Discovery 3 HSE Auto. Bought Feb 2019. 169,000 miles and counting...
2009 Freelander 2 XS Manual. Bought Sep 2013. SOLD Aug 2021 (already regretted!)
