Have kind of 'inherited' a Land Rover 110 HT dated 1983 and would like to assemble a wraparound front diff guard. Could anyone with a Bearmach BA 125 diff guard assembled on their vehicle post a photo of it for me please? I'm confused as to whether I can fit one onto a left hand drive Landy.

There's nothing to be confused about, the axles are the same.

The axle is the same but the Panhard rod is different because it has to curve above the diff whereas on a right hand drive vehicle it's straight.

I've got one fitted, bit late for pics, but if you look on paddocks site they have pics of one fitted.
If you want, and if I remember lol, I can take some in the morning.

Thanks MHM but it doesn't say anything about left or right hand drive vehicles

it wont because the diff is the same, therefore fitting it is the same.

This is a LHD Panhard rod which is a different shape and has different assembly points (they are mirrored) from a RHD Panhard.
(I know there's a Disco in the photo but I just used it to illustrate my doubts about the Panhard rod in LHD vehicles)

The picture you're showed us is a discovery, you said. So as the disco and the defender share the same axle, there is no reason why the diff guard will not fit your defender.

See what you mean Mandy, looks close. The diff guard sits slightly off the diff and looks like it might foul.
Why not try fitting the guard and see, 10 minute job.
