My L322 is just like my ex-wife. Looks great, but cost me money all the time, and there is always something wrong with it. And no sex. Plus she has a huge rear end, being the "full fat" version. And there are newer models of the same car that do...

See post #104 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

You could try calling Ashcroft Transmissions & ask them ?

Have you seen this thread? It seems to be up your street! https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/l322-rear-diff-upgrade-replacement-advise-please.336219/

It all looks easy and identical from photos and I cannot see why LR would change the drive train for one diff version only. But why take the risk when I can ask the forum? Oooops.

...and no sex!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

After the day I had yesterday here with insults basically from the get go I cannot tell who is serious and rude and who is joking. My primary concern as specified in my initial comment is the RPM and not the fuel savings. So many people have...

Just realised that if the vehicle doesn't have a beam axle then the halfshafts will presumably be mounted on flanges or something, you can tell I do not know the L322 at all!

I sympathise about working on a drive or a street on a hill, I have to do similar! I did once have to take the diff out of a D1 to fix it, on my gravel drive. It wasn't that hard. The question I would be wanting the answer to is whether the...

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...

I have said many times that I am not concerned about fuel cost. I am also not concerned about the casings of the diff. I just mentioned those things as minor bonuses in changing the diffs. Why would I spend a few thousand on an LPG system and...

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...

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.

£200 and a few hours to change the diffs versus how much money and time for an LPG kit when I said that my MAIN concern is the engine RPM and not about saving money? Higher revs needed, just put the transfer box into low range. I have 20 inch...

This is getting fun. Maybe the op will give up & try elsewhere, or actually do it & present the results ???? Maybe the diffs will fit or not . . . .who knows ? Will the engine last longer . . . .who knows ? Will many of us buy an L322 that...

Early fast n furious.....look free steam :p:p:p

🖕😜

Im now wondering if I should read the whole thread or just float on by 🤣 🤣

You have put up here what I was thinking all along as I have only just come to this thread. LPG is very well supported in France, which he'll be driving through at 130 kph, I assume. And I was also wondering how these cars are built if the diff...

Fit bigger wheels & tyres and a lpg kit, instant rpm reduced/cheaper fuel. Change axle diffs what about the centre diff ratio as they dont match the transfer box, so what happens when you need to go faster eg up hill when you need higher...

Weight makes a big difference to economy. You’d save fuel by not being so full of ****

Errm, most people get a bit tetchy when they can support there arguments with experience. Some of us can😍, some use pictures to support theirs without real hands on stuff. In fact they can fûck right off🤷😂 God do I get so fed up telling people...

Engines need revs to blow the coke out of the system.

You're always gonna get comment (some good, some bad & some scarcastic) on this forum, but often good info based on extensive knowledge & experience. If we assume the engine uses more fuel when it working harder (regardless of revs) & producing...

Usually later in the revs range. Most petrol on turbos are at there best around 3k through to 5k revs. Motor depending also and if there are camshaft timing devices that shift torque points😵🫣 How bloody complicated does it need to be😂

peak torque is to be found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_Rover_(L322)

Quite, the key to less strain on the engine and better fuel consumption is to drive at peak torque, or slower, as you say labouring is not clever at all.

Pulling a higher gear may actually impose more stress on the engine. a wider throttle opening needed to maintain speed, thus higher compression pressures. A lighter load and higher revs does no harm. The 2.76 diffs you say went with the 8 speed...
