Obviously I can buy one diff. Just going off pictures they seem to be identical in the mounting points. The only reason I came here to ask the question was I thought that would be a much simpler solution as somebody might know the answer. I work...

I know that these memes are popular with young girls on Instagram and I'm starting to think that you need to reattach your balls.

OK, here is a halfway house. Buy ONE diff and fit it, just to see if you can. If you can, buy another, fit it then try it out, mixed driving and so on. I'll not mention brim-to-brim testing as you don't care about fuel. Might it be a...

Oh FYI, my trip is Belgium, German, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Portugal. Barely touching France on the way to Belgium and from Italy to Spain. But hey, why not take out my spare tire from my spare tire space to put in an LPG tank in order to save...

I have said many times that I am not concerned about fuel cost. I am also not concerned about the casings of the diff. I just mentioned those things as minor bonuses in changing the diffs. Why would I spend a few thousand on an LPG system and...

I don't understand what you are talking about. I posted three different questions on two different forums so as to get a wide range of people to look at them in order to get the answers to my questions. It just happens that RRPhil chose to...

You have put up here what I was thinking all along as I have only just come to this thread. LPG is very well supported in France, which he'll be driving through at 130 kph, I assume. And I was also wondering how these cars are built if the diff...

I get the impression you are connected by more than merely a choice of forum to RRPhil. :vb-agree:

Like I said, you people throw out insults but you don't have any facts. Literally telling me that the gearbox will not go into fifth gear when it has a manual function that can be moved into fifth gear. But then finding it offensive when I...

I suppose the £30 quid fitting works for some models. My daughter’s battery recently died and I took it out to recharge it. On putting it back in I had to go through her handbook to erase the numbers that kept flashing up on the dashboard. Window...

My concern is RPM and having the engine doing less constant revolutions over a one month trip. Obviously driving constantly at 5,000 RPM puts more wear on an engine than driving constantly at 1,000 RPM. That is not something that I need to debate...

I agree but if I look at the torque curve for my VANOS equipped engine it will be OK. I posted the torque curve earlier on here. Here it is again to save you looking for it.

peak torque is to be found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_Rover_(L322)

Quite, the key to less strain on the engine and better fuel consumption is to drive at peak torque, or slower, as you say labouring is not clever at all.

Thanks Everyone Did not plan this bloody conversion, I bought it with 200tdi already fitted which was started about 12 years ago then left, did not look in to the ins and outs until after I payed for it, so got to be done now one way or...

Good luck sorting the issue.

I'm not playing the victim, all of you people crying because I won't listen to your dumb ideas are playing the victim. Don't you get it, none of you have the answer to the question that I asked so instead of admitting that you don't know what...

What a faff! It has taken us until now to book 4 flights with Ryan flipping air. Still tis done now. (Flights back from Bornemuff are at insane o'clock in the a.m. ) She has to go in once for preop assessment, then again about 2 weeks later for...

Don’t worry if it doesn’t work you can just carry on playing the victim

I would assume so but the problem is that the oil is coming out of the gap between the solenoid and the transfer case so I have to know the parts to buy before I pull it apart otherwise the car cannot drive and I need it to be able to drive. It...

I have an enormous amount of mechanical experience but I don't really care to justify it to you. I don't know anyone who doesn't understand that a lower RPM for many hours is better for the longevity of an engine. I am not talking about an...

Hey Folks Got a real bad leak on my disco 4. Stripping it down to see the problem is there anything i should replace than just the pump itself ? ( Had belts done @ 100,000 before i bought it. I would have thought the pump would have been...

The heating in my 2.5 Petrol is actually alright to be fair! Although I know this is absolutely an exception and most will be cold... although you could always fit a diesel heater. I do concur on the turning circle though, I have to reverse my...

Not trying to be rude, but it sounds like you haven't really got a clue at all and no knowledge of anything mechanical. Just because one number is lower than other means pretty much f* all really. What is your proof and rational that 1500rpm...

I changed the 6 coils packs and plugs myself about 2 years ago. I’ve ordered a set of 6 of both and will swap them out and see how it goes. The locking in park does look like a complete coincidence but it’s strange how since the AA plugged in...

I used to live in Portugal and I drove a Renault Cleo from there to England 10 years ago, so I know the trip reasonable well. I will visit a friend in Belgium and a friend in Switzerland on the journey so the ferry is not an option. I will also...

The picture is of a brand new solenoid and the inner seal is not circular it is shaped.

Just an update John - they couldn't pick up anything in the diagnostics, but finally admitted there was an issue so they are ordering a replacement rear diff from the UK, should take 4 weeks - only time will tell, will keep you in the loop. Thank...
