Took her for a little drive. Then kept her well out the way whilst manure was being dropped off for the tatties. After which I renewed the high tech solution for water ingress in rear quarter glass.

I want to plonk the m57 and 6 speed auto out the x5 in a td6, this x5 has been mapped to 300bhp and 440ibft, its fairly lively compared too the td6s

If it's the GM box, it barely copes with the standard M57.

The td6 is the m57? The early unit had a steel block and was a stronger engine. The later m57 was a weaker unit

Anyone with any experience with fitting Ashcroft 4.12 ratio ring and pinions to p38 diffs?
My brother and i have been busy with this all weekend.
First question: when he ordered the new ring and pinions he just ordered 2 sets without paying attention to having a reverse cut ring and pinion for the front diff. But after some searching it doesn't seem that Ashcroft sells a 4.12 with reverse cut for the p38. So do we just fit the normal cut to the front diff?
Second question: This is the first time we are rebuilding a diff and after a whole afternoon of adjusting shims this is the pattern we got. How does this pattern look?

Cut my oil pipes and replaced with compression fittings and new rubber pipe. All seems good.
Swapped out the oil and filter. The price of oil at the usual suspects was silly money so 20 litres of Smith & Allan fully synthetic heavy duty truck oil put in. Sounds very smooth.

There was a debate about this some time ago with the 2/4pin diff variations. As far as I remember the one needs to be reverse cut to avoid long term wear. Bemble would probably know

Yeah thats pretty much the conclusion i came to too. Itll work to run a normal cut ring and pinion in the front but its gonna be abit more noisey and wear faster and be weaker(but the fact thats its only an 8 tooth pinion makes it way stronger than stock). On the plus side though you can reverse under power without breaking your front diff

Finally got round to changing FIP fuel pressure sensor and top gasket, how it managed to seal buy just tightening I'm not sure. It had gone hard and was quite compressed. Any way new one now fitted

Dropped my van off too my valeter as I can't be bothered doing it myself so in the range rover again, when hes done with the van they'll be getting swapped about, im unsure if i want to keep the stormer wheels or the oem supercharged wheels but I do want to put a set in to get refubished next month,
Got a gearbox service kit and seals and solonoids and hope for the best,

Strictly speaking it was yesterday but I changed the oil in the final drive units. Rear wasn't bad but the front was a grey emulsion. No sign of oil getting past the seals and the breather is fine yet it looks like water got in. I have done a lot of wading this winter. Looks like that might explain the noisy front diff. Unfortunately it has got quieter with new oil but still whining.
