Many of our products are sold on an exchange basis. This is an amount charged on top of the unit price which acts as a deposit and is refundable on receipt of the exchange unit (old one coming out of the vehicle), as long as the unit is the same type, complete and not stripped, and returned within 12 months.
This means it has to be like for like as it comes out of the vehicle, having not been taken apart at all, and needs to be complete with everything the remanufactured one arrives with. If it does not arrive in this condition, some or all of the surcharge may not be refunded. A standard “stripped” charge of £75 will be deducted from any core return.
Core returned after a 12 month period will be subject to a surcharge as shown below.
The core deposit varies depending on the product.

Whilst the LT85 is renown as a very strong gearbox, they are prone to two problems; premature wear of the 1-2 selector fork and premature wear in the 5 main bearings, this is due to the fact that the LT85 has helical gears which produce end thrust but the bearings are all ball bearings as opposed to taper roller bearings.
Some customers upgrade to the R 380 instead of fitting another LT85. The suffix L R380 is similar in strength but is smoother to use and should last longer. A different diff lock linkage and hi/
