New transfer box to be fitted next week.

I have only noticed on occasion when on lock that I get a little hop, skip jump from the back.
No other issues noticed. Drives like a dream.
Whilst in for a service A couple of weeks ago I asked OPC to check the transfer box as I had this minor issue on some occasions with this skipping on lock. They could of easily brushed it off and said nothing wrong and I would have been fine with it.
But I have to say I was impresssed with their honesty and said yes it needs a new transfer box which has been ordered.
And this is a modified box (stops the water getting in which apparently causes the issue)
I am not sure if anyone with a replacement modified transfer box has had the issue again? The early transfer box replacements were not modified from what I have been told.
I think it would be a good idea for anyone who has had a transfer box replaced to check the part number to see if it’s the modified version or not.

I will update once fitted and if I notice any changes.
GTS 😀
