I am looking for some advise as currently not sure on which way to go.
I currently have a td5 defender crew cab with uprated intercooler, chip and larger charger turbo. It's a lovely drive running 235/85 tyres and I use it as a land rover is bult, towing once a week or more a Ivor with maybe a ton on and sometimes a trailer up to it's limit. I however also do a fair amount of motorway miles (around 30%) and would like to improve the drive (it's a family car as well) I don't do huge miles around 10-15k a year.
I have been looking at a disco transfer box however read that this makes defenders running 235s underpowered especially when towing and I don't want to lose the nippiness (and boy racer eating performance) of my current set up. I don't want to have to use low box all the time towing occasionally when fully loaded is fine just not on my weekly drive.
I have also looked at over drives however these are very expensive and the rover drives look agricultural and difficult to use for short runs, I beleve gkn don't make there's any more.
I was wondering what your thoughts were out there and if anyone else has gone with one of these set ups.
