if you had free wheeling hubs you would have to drive around in diff lock, otherwise you'd be going nowhere
why not just take the front prop off and still drive round in diff lock, or if your that bothered about mpg buy a fiesta or a smart car:frusty:
or chuck some veg oil in still only 89ppl from morrisons

Freewheeling hubs on a disco! FFS. Somebody don't know what fwh are for and don't know how his disco works either it would seem.

I do know what they are and how a disco works. I read there was a kit to convert a full time transfer box to a part time. sorry should have put that at start. Iam not interest in peoples oponions on what iam doing. If you dont have any information on the kit dont post FFS. Thanks

Asking the right question might have got you a sensible answer. there is no point whatever in fitting FWH to a Disco. A part-time transfer box is a different matter. If you want your car sliding all over the road in the wet like a Series that is.
I believe Landrover once modified a Range Rover to front wheel drive only - used it to tow the Rover gas turbine LeMans competitors. Or my old memory could be playing tricksies here.
