--EDIT - Title should read "Final Drive Ratio" (dont know where the n came from) --
Earlier I was reading a few posts on here about using R380 boxes out of a Disco on a Defender. It reminded me that it is the Transfer box that has different ratios in the vehicles. However Landrover themselves claim that both my old outgoing Disco (300Tdi, R reg) and my "new" incoming Def110 (300Tdi, P reg) have the same Final Drive Ratio of 3.54.
How do different Transfer boxes end up with the same FDR and whay have different transfer boxes if they are going to be the same FDR anyway?
I'm sure its really obvious, it has just missed me.
I don't believe they can be the same or the defender wouldn't begin to rattle at 60 when the Disco holds out to 70, would it?
