I knew it was only a matter of time before someone said summat like this, although @Avocet1 ran me a close second and I have since relearned what I learned as a rep.
"after the first 10 seconds of you talking they will mentally switch off"
10 seconds is far too long for some on here!

But "very little" How very dare you!!!!!

Divorced did you say?
Work for yourself because no one would employ/work with you did you say?

Haaa!!!

Thank you for being such a pathetic loser.

Yes, you are right, every person who has their own business only does it because they can't work for less money while being told what to do all day long by somebody else.

Now here is an interesting thing, all of you guys are posting comments during business hours on business days.

So either you are lazy employees who do personal stuff on their phone while at work, or nobody wants to hire you, or you are unemployed living on welfare.

Please do let me know which one it is.

I laugh at how pathetic you guys are, when you are unable to answer a question about a car, so you instead attack the person asking the question, to hide your lack of knowledge.

only 1 person? wrong i read at least 2.

Now as much as you may think I might be doom and gloom I dont see my comments that way.
Now as for technical stuff which I know you hate to talk about, and I do like to research interesting stuff. I class this as an interesting challenge.
I am actually gonna ask you 1 question although you always seem reluctant to answer anything techy I ask.

What does your rear diff look like? Does it have a convetional looking diff pan bolted on the rear?

Because this is the only difference I can see in major design change although it appears to use the same bolts to fix in place, which tells me the rear subframes are the same for that part.

The 2 different designs may use different drive shafts. we know they did, but as yours is a V8 they may have used the same 1s.

The fronts all seem to have the same fixing points down to having the same O ring between diff and sump. Some of the bolts are different lengths (longer for your proposed change).

And again drives shafts are unknown at this time.

This is what I have found, but beware I dont know how true any of that info is.

So the rest is up to you now isnt it, I have already said what I would do, which was get the 2 side by side (in person best) and give them a dam good coat of looking at before even touching a bolt.

Your guess at £100 each to me sounds low, and I wish you luck doing it on the drive.

Please don't waste my time, I already got the answers to all of this, maybe three days ago, and I'm not interested in telling anybody here how this works out.

The question regarding the possibility of this working has been answered twice, on another forum, and the probability of the diff fitting has been answered here, once.

I am only here now to reply to direct insults and pathetic gotcha questions.

(There is just a tiny little bit of a touch of Trumpery about all this now. )

And if I wasn't sure before, I am dead sure now.

It's a cr@p idea.

The fact that so few people have done it proves it. (So far one person that knew one other person who'd done it. According to OP, and as he knows EVERYTHING then this must be true.)

All good ideas get posted about all over LR forums.

Just hoping that if he does it, or doesn't but still makes the trip, that he doesn't accidentally go up my road, notice the landies, of which there are a lot, (3 out of 4 houses including mine), and stop off for a "chat".
But then he'd be barrelling down an autoroute at 1200 rpm, on his way to Perpignan or somewhere!!

Can't make my mind up whether to turn off notifications on this, as it is still funny, and STILL people are trying to help him, despite his attitude.
Hmmm!

Actually, on another forum someone said they had done this to three cars and it worked out great for them on all of those cars.

And someone knew someone who did this on a car and it worked out great.

So that is four cars out of four that it has worked on, and that is only the people who have commented there, not the population of the entire world.

Now, can I find any comments on this forum anywhere where this idea didn't work out?

Oh wait, if someone hasn't already asked and answer a question on these forums then the idea is automatically bad.

Which means that these forums are now useless going forward because every answer to every question is already here.

So why are you idiots here if there is nothing new that can ever be asked or answered?

I don't know if you can see how stupid your comment is to imply that every possible question about these cars has already been asked and answered here, because I don't think you have the intelligence needed to realize just how stupid you are.

But don't I realize that people coming here to insult me and give me gotcha questions to try (and fail) to prove that I'm an idiot are actually just here trying to help me with my car issue?

If I can make a few people laugh/smile during each day on this planet I dont see that as a bad thing.

And that is why I am still here, because you guys are still pathetically funny.

I tried to help to just to close it out around 10 pages back. I think we just need to drop it now, every post gets another essay as to why we're being laughed at.

I'm ok with being laughed at.

And I am OK laughing at these guys.

I am not laughing at you because you gave me valuable information.

I literally only glance at this forum for five minutes a few times a day, to see if those guys have finally shut up, or if they are still insulting me based on nothing.

I use voice dictation to type these comments which I can do whilst doing something else at the same time.

And the comments practically write themselves, like someone saying that if the answer isn't already on this forum then the idea is a bad idea.

Talk about hubris and stupidity at the same time, to think that no idea could ever be talked about here that they haven't already seen and discussed.

Of course it's easy to respond to such a stupid arrogant comment.

On another forum 9/10 people have only given me valuable information, and it is a stark contrast to this place.

So I barely comment on the other place, because it's not funny there.

Given that I only respond to people here, who attack me with their stupidity, and have been doing that for 90% of the discussion, you have to ask yourself who is the problem?
