cos when you put a defender in difflock then all 4 wheels drive until the limeted slip diff kiks in . then 1 fron and 1 back drive. but on a series 3 you hit the yellow lever and it drives one front and one back.
or at least thats wot i fort
and how is a series 3 not a "proper" land rover .

Nope!! A defender or 90/110 doesn't have a limited slip diff. It has a center diff and when engaged it turns both propshafts at the same speed. Lift a wheel front or rear and all the drive from that propshaft goes to the wheels that's airborne. lift a wheel front and back at the same time (cross axled) and your not going anywhere.
A series has exactly the same system. with regards to difflock. the difference is in the fact that a series has selectable 2wd/4wd which is what the extra lever is for. Whereas the defender is permanent 4wd.

I assume we are talking about Land Rovers as built, not subsequently modified.
What limited slip differentials?
A series motor in 4wd is identical in action to a Defender in diff lock:
both axles locked together, open differential in each axle.

Which injun runs may just give you a false impression of one motor. I'd check the chassis & bulkhead, in situ, in detail. Get a big feck orf screwdriver a give every inch unnerneath a good hard prodding. Series II parts are going to be a bit more difficult to source, but the injun int original anyways so it won't make too much diffrunce. A lot of other stuff (some bodyparts etc) are interchangeable with IIIs. I'd base my decision on chassis & bulkhead first, other running gear second & whether the injun runs third.

yep, the engine is the least of your worries, chassis and bulkhead first, every time

we had similar on here before about how they wint 4wd but 2wd, defenders included. just more bollocks put about by folk wot dint know better and believed by those trying to learn. Ah seem to remember it getting around to cars being 1wd and motorbikes being 0wdNot at all you misunderstood something. We all do that Even me!!
