I'm thinking this is the way it's going to happen, but I don't think the auto box in the '93 LSE will be the one you are talking about, shame as that sounds useaful.

As a comparison My LSE (let's not get confused, I have a nice one and a dnoor car, not that I'm greedy) has the 5.0 and a n auto that has a 'sports mode'.  Well I think it's stuck in sport TBH, the gearchanges are high up and it goes like a stabbed rat, I'd love to know how many horses it's got.

On-road I really like the auto, no question.  Not least because I like Cruise control (when mine works) because of my knee, but Blue is for laning and off-roading.

Eyore, if I stay manual, would I need the R380?


Finaly, the 4.6 should be a serpentine lump but was fitted to an older car, given that I have the bits should I put it back as a serpentine? other than the bigger alternator I can run what advantage did the revised front end bring, anyone know?  It'l probably get stripped and new gaskets before it goes in anyway, and possibly a hot cam too :twisted:

auto

but id have said the 3.9 autobox with gear driven tbox is better than the chain driven one....that was following a long chat with a bloke who runs a company rebuilding autboxes and he runs a dragster as well!

Of course you would say that. :lol: But then why isn't your car an auto? :P

The gear driven is LT230 while the chain is the Borg Warner Viscious unit isn't it?

Range Rover Blues:
Yes, ideally I'd be fitting a Defender LT230 becasue of the big tyres, then when I go back to standard tyres it would be ludicrously fast :shock:

Thing is I lke the viscous diff in the Borg Warner and as I have 2 of them spare at the moment...........

Now I've bought the donor I need to make as much use of it as possible before I spend any more money.
