the disco has a 1:2 ratio tranny box while the defender has a 1:4 box - just reduces the revs when your crusing

Sometimes.

Some early One Tens had 1.6:1, one Ninety variant had a 1.2 factory jobbie. Disco MPi had a 1.4 doodah.

Very simplistically the Disco was based on a late 80's Rangie. and I spose the Defendier was based on an early 80's Rangie with Series 3 bits bolted on - what didn't fit the hybrid they made new.

So they have lots of simliar bits - and loads of diifrunt ones.:) I'd wait fro an eggspurt to come and answer MHM.
