    I think both @kevstar and I were talking tongue in cheek, but never mind! And I speak with a little experience as I regularly tow a car on a trailer with my D2 TD5 auto, (from the UK to south west France) so I do know a bit about how easily a LR...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    Ferry to Bilbao for going to Portugal would out less strain on the engine and driver and ensure you actually get there in an L322.

    Google search "l322 diff ratio 2.76". Answer in the attached image. Time spent 30 seconds. (I already said search the diff ratio on google but I guess you did not do that.)
