Yes of course, and given my car's engine an d gearbox operating range this will not happen. Everyone here seems to think that this minor changed to the differential ratio will suddenly cause me to be driving around at 500 RPM on the highway...

Totally. You cannot even put different wheels on the car without them adding a premium to the insurance price. Any modification versus how my car arrived from the dealer 23 years ago is considered a modified vehicle.

Do not forget to notify your insurers of your non homologated modification. Insurers just love mods they have not been advised about because in the event of an accident it lets them off the hook.

Sure if I was towing a horse float and I was desperately concerned about accelerating up every hill, but in a car that is designed to tow 140% of its weight, that will have just one man, three dogs and some clothes in it this will not be an...

So true, if the 8 speed did not have the 2.76 ratio differential that I was considering using. So the 2.76 ratio differential is ok in the 8 speed where the second highest gear is 1:1 ratio but not ok in my 5 speed where the second highest gear...

If you were right then everybody would drive at the maximum speed on the highway in a lower gear than top gear. For example in your eight speed Range Rover you would shift down to seventh gear or even into sixth gear, for lower torque. No one...

it was an x3 box, you would have to change both diffs as the transferbox is not a true diff

Yes, changing both front and rear diffs, as I explained in my initial question that created this monstrosity of a thread. I also looked at changing the secondary gears inside the transfer case, but there is nothing available for my rare NV225...

I grasp that fact but I have said maybe 20 times that I do not care about acceleration because that will be only before entering the highway or exiting the highway hours later. So once again my idea won't work because of something that I am not...

You are talking about a situation where a car is accelerating in a higher gear than the optimal gear, requiring more torque. When driving at a constant speed on the highway for several hours this will not be the situation I will be facing (as I...

as someone who drasticly changed hes drive train (manual box) in a l322 i looked at changing diff ratios, but decided against it as too much work for little gain, several things came from it, the forum was split about doing it ( one member was...

I read threads a few months ago about people changing the L322 to a manual gearbox. I stumbled upon them when I first had my idea and was doing some research online. I might have seen your thread, did you use an X5 gearbox? I watched a number...

Actually the question was real and the idea is valid as has been confirmed on another forum, but without all of the insults. The people here have spent 22 pages insulting me and I have just keep responding to their insults, nothing more. Even...

My car is 23 years old so I would not get any service from Land Rover so I do not really understand this line of questioning. I do not think Toyota would give you a new chassis on a 23 year old Land Cruiser. I used to have a Toyota Land Cruiser...

The local SKF distributor is sending me a seal that should be suitable, arriving next week, so thank you for your knowledge on this subject.

There is a YouTube channel called Matt's Off Road Recovery where they build off road recovery vehicles from other cars / SUVs. There is a recent episode called, "You Were Right… Everything Wrong With My Fleet!" In the episode he talks about all...

Bored but you are still coming back here and commenting here? How dumb is that, or are you lying? Given that I am not posting new comments here but only responding to insults, there are about 20 pages of people who cannot leave, who keep...

They don't come with the wrong diff ratio, they are just not designed specifically for my particular use case and only a beta would not understand that fact. They are built to satisfy a wide range of customer use cases at a basic level, rather...

Look on YouTube for the Harry's Garage video called "L322 Range Rover TDV8 long-term update. Is this peak Range Rover?" It is the reason that I bought an L322 instead of a P38, or a Classic, which is the model that I first drove 35 years ago and...

Blob was really helpful, and the fact that no one had any good reasons why it should not be done helped me, so everyone here helped. (Several others helped me on another forum.) Plus you have all helped me laugh a lot and you should all be...

If there is one positive to be had from this thread, It's got me proper interested in the L322. I like all LRs but never really paid much attention to the RRs.

You said "Divorced did you say? Work for yourself because no one would employ/work with you did you say?" I just paraphrased what you said because I could not be bothered looking it up because this whole thing is just a massive gotcha joke. I...

If I will not be able to get the old bolts in, then I will know immediately that there is a problem, and there is no way I will discover this problem while driving in Portugal. But you repeatedly have said that I will not discover this problem...

Right, the bolts will be different but there will be no way to know that the bolts are different until I am halfway to Portugal. And you say that I have no mechanical understanding, OMG you are hilarious. Let me guess, the bolts are of an...

Yes, I gave you a valid Google search response that answered your question and you decided to attack it and attack me. But the Google search was correct, it is correct, and it will remain correct into the future, answering your question. I sent...

And still not one single gotcha comment has got me, but you losers cannot stop trying. Given that I have mostly been responding to insults and gotcha comments and we are over 400 comments it must be at least fifty gotcha comments that have...

And like I said, if the bolts are different I will see that immediately when removing the first one that is different and I will be able to order new bolts before I continue. This is just childish stuff compared to an actual problem, like if the...

I already did before I commented to you about your mistake! Oh no another gotcha failed. How many is it now? Can you see how pathetic your life is that everything revolves around me writing the word "not" versus "no" after maybe 200 comments...

Yes.

I can type on my device, I just don't need to because I can voice dictate at about three times the speed. Why would I waste more time than necessary on this stupid forum full of idiots? Got any more gotcha comments? (Oh by the way it's well...
