Are 110 axles any different to a 90?

<< < (2/2)

Porny:
Just saw you other post... isn't the 90" your rebuilding a 1997 one??

If so.... you'll need to change the engine mounts (amoung other things).. and if you ever sell it, won't be worth much with a 2.5NA (and a LT77 Box)

basically the 90 is a 1997 but all it consists off is a chassis, rear tub and bulkhead... what have i let my self in for!!! engine mounts sound difficult! i may end up selling this engine and putting a better one in like a refurb or something. If i complete the project, i will end up keeping it for life! so that then V8moneypit can show me the real meaning of offroad!!

I'd personnally.....

Break the 110 for spares and get your money back (and probably more)... and get yourself a complete 300Tdi setup - including all the ancilleries, the gearbox etc etc.... all just bolt on then (as your chassis would have had a 300Tdi as standard)

May work out a bit more expensive.... but saves you a lot of hassle.

Also means your 90 will be a standard vehcile and will be easier (thus cheaper) to insure.  Also means it's worth more if you ever sold it.

I've got a good contact if you go down the 300Tdi route!!

I'd keep the front axle off your 110 and fit that (if in good condtion - though I would be tempted to find a newer one!!)... then just find a good Range Rover, Discovery (series 1) or 90 rear axle!!

Bolt in the 300 tdi running gear, and jobs a good'un!!!!
