The part is around £100 give or take a fiver. About an hours labour to fit it. If it's broke, it should be covered by the warranty. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

I have a warranty that came with the car, not JLR and have claimed for new transfer box. They tried to wriggle out but I mentioned I was on a forum and it was a common problem, not ware and tare, so they paid up. I presume you are getting the extended shut down? |

Thanks guys for the replies. I do get extended run on, but only for a second or two. Biggest issue for me is pulling into traffic quickly. If I try and pull away quickly there's a horrible, lengthy pause before anything happens. Been caught a few times.

Sounds more like the hesitation issue, try searching for that. |

Hesitation is on the 2011 early facelift models with the lower tax and modified air intake pipes (ie no "organ pipes" on it). You might get it on a late 60 reg but not on a 10 reg if that's what you have. Incidentally, LR don't know how to fix it 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

It's a 60 plate, pre facelift. Took into my local garage today and he read a load of fault codes regarding the throttle body. New one being fitted Monday, I'll report back on whether it fixes some or all of the issues! |

New throttle body today. Starts and stops immediately now. Gear changes seem much smoother too. Hasn't fixed the annoying 1-2 second pause when you try and pull away quickly. Oh well, as Meatloaf once said "2 out or 3 ain't bad......" |

Fitted price for throttle body just short of £300. A charge for diagnosis, 110 for the parts, 1.5 hrs labour and a nice lot of VAT.
