Hi Jamie
Thanks a lot for the reply .... the biggest problem I am facing is finding any gear in Ireland. There is absolutely nothing here.... No 410 or 413 .... and from the search I did no one here would do that kind of work... :blink:
So I need to source the 2 transfer cases in other countries, then post them to Ireland and then again to UK and back, big logistic operation.
So my options are down to (Product Name Deleted at the request of the Manufacturer) or one fully build "Plug and play".
Any help will be appreciated in finding a solution ....

Have a word with Richard, he will locate some box's do the work and
Post it off to you all ready to fit, the (Product Name Deleted at the request of the Manufacturer) at 700 euros also
State you need to replace the drive chain in the box at the cost of around £200
From suzuki!!
I've heard too many horror stories of chains stretching and the like... It is a good
Peice of kit let down by suzuki's crap design!!!!
If you want to speak to Richard he is a really nice guy and will explain
All your options....pm me if you want his number!!

If you contact Richard he would most likely agree to you buying the two boxes and having them sent straight to him rather than Ireland. Then once he has both boxes you'll have to wait his lead time of about 8 weeks.
You might not get back the exact same box as the ones you sent him but it doesn't matter as he checks all the casings and replaces all bearings needed and seals.
I've been in his workshop in his garden and it would make companies jealous.
You just have to wonder for someone who does not advertise his services, why is it that so many people use him and recommend him? Word and mouth is a good advertisement.
I think that some of the stories of old about gears being pulled apart in boxes by another mainstream company supplier might be a thing if the past now. People learn and improve. I know who Jamie speaks of but will not make negative reference and believe their work to be good now.

Does anyone no a rough price as to how much a rockwatt rocklobster would cost? I dont have the transfer boxes yet so dont want to mess Richard about by calling him and not being able to say yes to doing the work.
Obviously I get that no one will be able to give me an exact price but just need an estimate so I can save for it!!!
