<< < (2/3) > >>

90sam:
So i've just put a 200tdi in mine out of a defender, and it shouts and screams at about 65mph would my transfer box be a 1.6 Do defenders with a tdi in have 1.4 and would this make it better for cruising. How hard is it to put a disco one in?

sas pinkie:
Piece of wee wee if you have a defender gear box, bit harder if you have 1110 or 90 on, as some of the linkage needs sublte mods. Not beyond your average hobbie mechanic tho, and could be done over a weekend with ease.

90sam:
I've got a 90 gearbox but i thought the defender was the same lt77? How do i know whehter my transfer box is 1.6? and can i get a 1.4 off a defender would that fit straight swap!

ChrisV8:
:lol: Should have a little sticker on the back of the transfer with the ratio. Otherwise look at the serial number then have a look on Ashcrofts site they have all the relevant details of ratios to serial numbers and where to look.

Likely a petrol 110 will have a suffix 22D box which is a 1.41 but may have 20D which is 1.667.

Disco one is 28D but an mpi has a 22D, a neighbour now knows that having put an mpi transfer onto his tdi, revs it's doo daas off at 70 mph now !!

extreme90:
sam it was only the 110's the had the 1.6
yours will be 1.410
if you want to better motorway speed you need to fit a disco transfer box but then your max tyre size will be 31 inch
anything more your going to start dropping down gears going up hills
