Range Rover Blues:
Personally I'd go 10 spline then go for a pair of Ashcroft's driveshafts later on.  24 spline diffs are getting a reputation for excessive wear, plus spares are harder to come by.  For example the 200TDi Defender rear shafts are interchangeable with RRC shafts.  The 200TDi front shafts are already supposed to be about the strongest you can get without going really crazy.

Bulli:
i didnt think they wore any quicker and are definately stronger...why not do the ratios and then you have new pionion and crown...i have the upgraded ashcroft diff internals and ,touch wood, they have been super strong.

Range Rover Blues:
Again I've been told the strongest ratio for a diff is 3.54:1 ie standard, and that was by one of the Ibex owners.

Bulli:
thats not true at all, sorry. The old ratios , ie series ones arent anywhere near as strong but the ratio isnt that important on the later stuff.
Mine are way stronger than anything to have left lode lane and the ratio is 4.1 :1 . BUT they cost a fortune compared with standard ratrios. I could get 3 or 4 sets of diffs for the same price. The 35 inch tyres clinched it for me ,mine would be useless with 3.54 :1 . I would have to be in 3rd to get moving on hills.
