Hi there can I pick your brains on the axel I have bought a s3 1977 sailsbury rear axel will I be able to fit it to a 2a with a standard front axel is there any difference on the ratio I pick the axel up the weekend at a cost of £165 and It needs a refurb. Cheers for your help and advise in advance .dan

Depends what you want to do with it. And what sort of order it is in. Arguably it's pretty redundant unless you do a lot of towing and heavy hauling. Which is why Land Rover fitted them to 109's... 88's don't have the loading capacity or tow rating to really worry about it. Rover diffs get a bad rap, but tbh for 'normal' use they are fine. And you can beef them up if need be.
As for the spelling, it's easy...

Hi guys so I got my Salisbury axel and the correct prop but I'm missing a drum so I email a guy who has some drums and he tells me that they never made axes for the series 2 or 2a also I have been told the differentials are not the same ....The axel I have came off a series 3 with leaf springs so do I have to match up diffs and any ideas what drum I will need ?? All help is well appreciated guys and is soaked up like a sponge not wasted
Salisbury axles were not fitted to series 2'a I have a very late 2a which has its original axles and they have a reinforced rover axle. Which is plenty strong enough. I'm running a 200tdi with 3.54 diffs and recently towed 3 tons up a 15% gradient in high 2 wheel drive and the world didn't stop spinning and luckily neither did the diff so pulled the 3 tons the 6 mile trip home. The differentials are completely different, the rover type is a separate unit where as the diff in a Salisbury is built into the axle casing.
Any series Salisbury axle except stage one will be 4.7:1 ratio same as the front
I would've stuck with the rover type sure 109's are slightly bigger and heavier but not by a huge amount. And pre 1993 90's had 10 spline rover diffs just with a higher ratio and have a higher towing capacity than a 109. Yes they are permanent 4 wheel drive which spreads the load but if you are towing a heavy weight most likely you'll be in low range if you have a standard series engine which engages four wheel drive.
The rover axle isn't weak and I've never thought of upgrading to Salisbury and my 109 regularly tows and carries heavy loads on and off road.

they were to vehicle suffix h onwards, so they were an option on 2as,Hi guys so I got my Salisbury axel and the correct prop but I'm missing a drum so I email a guy who has some drums and he tells me that they never made axes for the series 2 or 2a also I have been told the differentials are not the same ....The axel I have came off a series 3 with leaf springs so do I have to match up diffs and any ideas what drum I will need ?? All help is well appreciated guys and is soaked up like a sponge not wasted
drum is 576973
ratio is the same
Have you got a standard front differential or have you upgraded it to a 3.54 from a defender, discovery 1 or Range Rover classic?Hi there the main reason for the axel is I have a series 2a recovery truck an I intend on using it to tow lift recover tree work .....everything ....Thank you for your info it's well appreciated an will be used
If your Salisbury axle is a pre stage 1 axle it will be a standard series ratio at 4.7:1 and will be fine if used with the standard front axle.
If your front axle has been upgraded to a higher ratio then you will have to change the front to a standard 4.7 ratio or upgrade the Salisbury to 3.54 by using parts from a defender Salisbury axle.
