Good evening all, Can I swap my tired discovery LT77 for a R380, my discovery 200tdi currently has a short bell housing. Thank you all!

Apologies, won't let me post the video 🙁

Double post

Good afternoon all. My 1998 Discovery 2 TD5 10p suddenly broke down, steering went stiff, brake pedal stiff and engine cut out. Engine turns over fine, but doesn't start. Won't bump start either. I can hear the pump pushing fuel, albeit struggling. As per the video there is a trickle noise by...

Good afternoon all, So far up to date I have replaced 4 sets of handles, one door latch assembly, 4 sets of the interior plastic door card locks and today my door latch assembly has failed again! Needless to say I think I'm buying rubbish parts, the doors do close really well, but the locking...

Hi all, Just looking to move my air filter to allow for a diesel heater that I'm fitting, it's a 200tdi discovery engine in a Landy 90. On the 300tdi the air filter is sat above the lift pump, on the 200its above the manifold. My question is, will the mount for a 300tdi bolt to the same place...

Apologies, yes it is lifted Interestingly though I have taken the old prop off and pushed the shaft back in and it's now 610mm, which is a standard size... Am I just having a moment and actually that would make it fit correctly, because it would have to be extendable to fit between the diff and...

Good morning all and happy new year! As the title suggests, I'm having trouble with the front prop shaft on my discovery 2. The prop shaft UJ has failed taking with it the outer casing of the prop on the double cardon end which means it's not as simple as changing the UJ :( The current prop...

Fantastic, thank you for the information and suggestions. Sounds like a pretty good place to start! Any difficulties or fiddly bits that I need to be aware of when swapping out the transfer box, new gaskets etc?

Hah you're not wrong there! Not to mention it's terrifying 😂😂

Hah! Yes, it is quite hilly in that neck of the woods! Would there be much of a change on flat roads changing to the 1.4? Thanks Phill!

Woah, lots of info! Love it! Correct, good memory! You've already figured the broader picture here, I didn't want to overload info in my original post, but you've twigged. So I am looking at downgrading my tyres to a smaller size A/T, currently I have Mud terrains. Along with that I have...

Interesting... Would this work on a short bell housing?

Ah, so a bit of work required for that then. Which is fine just trying to weigh up my options. Currently I have a short bell housing mated to a discovery 200tdi, LT77 and LT230 all these parts were on my defender before I bought it, everything suggests it's been taken from a D1. What I meant...

Hi all, I have a LT77 gearbox and LT230 transfer from a Discovery 1 which has become so loud that I can't bare it any longer. I have the option to put an R380 box and LT230 in for free, what would I need to change mount wise to make it fit? I'm also a bit skeptical as I don't know if I...
