disco t box

<< < (3/3)

Range Rover Blues:
Well I've got 235/85s on Blue and I find the gearing too tall when it's loaded up or towing and pretty lame on LPG, plus setting off in 1st needs a lot more clutch than is good, though I know the TDi box has a lower 1st.

Like I said, works fine on my 90 and I know several 110 owners also like it but a 130 that may spend a lot of its life loaded up........., I don't know.

Sounds fair enough,  have a feeling gearbox is on it's way out anyhow - maybe best not put too much more strain on than necessary  [-X
