1.4 t'box?
« on: July 31, 2010, 17:33:43 »
hi,

if i were to fit a 1.4 transfer box to the disco but leave it on the 31 inch tyres, would it still be able to cruise at 60-70 mph without reving the pistons out of the bonnet?

Hi
with the standard Disco T box in and 31 inch tyres you should be able to do 70 plus without any problems.
Mine has 35's on with a standard disco t box and that will do 70 plus at 3000 rpm.

no sorry, wanting to reduce the standard disco gearing to that of a defender for high range when towing, to reduce strain on every thing.
