Is the transfer box the same as gearbox.  I know transfer boxes are troublesome and expensive.  He says transfer box failed, but he would include spare gearbox....

Yes it is, but,. .... Its basially fwd mondeo VTX box but on offside output shaft side instead of a drive shaft they bolted on a transfer box with a 90 degree output shaft to the rear wheels and a smaller shaft to the offside wheel. Not a bad system hence All Wheel Drive monica instead of 4wd implying a tractor or off road thingy (alla subaru) . Trouble with it is too many high rev launches i.e. trying to get it to wheel spin will detonate the transfer box and g/box, Worst i've ever seen is damage to the block where it bolts on.
And it is a right pig to do as 1 bolt is up behind exhaust downpipe/manifold connectin and you just know that will strip as it comes apart. :(

Transfer box sounds like the classic unreliable bodge mechanism to convert a FWD car to 4WD... a-la the Cavalier and Calibra 4x4s where the box would munge itself within unless all the tyres had the same rolling circumference to a tolerance of 0.0000001mm ::)

Other than that, looks like a nice find, and it's manual. Pity it's not the 3.0 engine though, those are supposedly pretty nice.

BTW the XJR link posted, that sounds like failure of the Nikasil liners -- known issue and it's basically a replacement engine job. Good luck finding a used XJR engine that's not another potential Nikasil issue!
