Which transfer box

Hi all. Going to go for the big 35" tyres but don't want to put any more strain on the old girl so I want to put correct transfer box on to alter gearing accordingly. Had a look on previous threads but can't find a definite answer.

I have a disco 200 just want to know which transfer box from which fender would do the job? Cheers all.

well you'd want the same LT230 but in 1.4 and then to swap the handbrake piece

I was led believe a defined we box would do the job. I'm just unsure about whether this would be a 200 defender or any would fit?! Just trying to get my head round it.

Defender box***

yes an LT230 defender box will bolt straight on but make sure its a 1.4 as I presume thats what you're wanting instead of the disco 1.2 thats already on it

Maybe even a 1.6...

Disco transfer box copes just fine with 35's just make sure your in the right gear...

... but struggles to keep to the speed limits (traffic flow) when fully loaded and towing a caravan up even small hills, where it was fine with 31" tyres ..

Doubt the top speed would be much over 45mph.

he could drop series diffs in instead of disco ones and keep the 1.2 ?

Series diffs are nice but the CWP are weaker so would break more likely

It's 1.4 or 1.6 anyway, depending on the true tyre height

THE best solution is Ashcroft CWP with reverse cut front.

Transfer box Sump plug is spinning and not tightening. Any ideas show to get it out?

smack it with a hammer

Believe me I've alredi tried that approach. Drained oil out plug back in and it won't tighten or come out now. Just spinning.

try it with mole grips pulling whilst twisting or prise under it at the same time as turning

The sump plug has snapped in the transfer box. Got head an half of it out but half of thread is now stuck in box?!

drop the sump and punch the rest through ,you need to fit helicoil or similar or tap out to next size
