What are they from? if the gearbox is a defender i will probably take it.

Any interest in swapping the transfer for a 1.2 ?

Sorry. Both items are from a Discovery 1 300tdi

Dr evil. Looking for an outright sale ideally

Would have thought the transfer would be a 1.2 then if its from a disco ?

From factory yes but this is a 1:410 fitted to a Discovery

What transfer box is on my 95 Disco? I'm considering a change. I've had several people suggest a change to compensate for 315/70/17s

It should have a 1:2 in it.

1:410 is what is in a defender 90/110 from factory

Shame it's from a Disco, my Defenders R380 is a little worn and needs changing, currently going through various suppliers of refurbs! Would of taken them both. Pretty sure the Disco R380 wont fit a Defender R380?

On a side note, what difference does the 5th gear cog make?

Rob, you'll be MUCH happier with a 1.4 box in, it makes the world of difference when on oversize tyres, can't believe I didn't swap mine sooner!!

Hi Sam would putting this style t/box on my auto disco help me? I had my autobox replaced about 18 months ago (would not change gear when cold) now the disco was off the road for a year just after the box swap it ran ok ie would change normal i got it mot'ed 2 weeks before xmas and seamed fine then on sunday 5th jan went green laning with a few members on here did a 200 mile round trip gear box felt like it was slipping a little bit on the way home. Today it was like i had my old box back it just would not change out of first again i don't have mega big tyres they only 235/85/16

sorry AJC for the hijack

235/85 is fairly large mate easy 32"

Defender takes 1.4 box on 235/85 factory fit so yes on that basis it would be preferable

A lot of defender owners fit 1.2 to lower their revs but that's when they have smaller tyres on, also 90 is very light so doesn't notice the 1.2 as badly.

It will if you make up and adaptor to extend the selector shaft and bang the defender remote on top.

I came across a 38k mile disco box so was worth knocking an adapter up.

I did have one lined up, long conversation with seller, agreed price, etc. Then, he sprung another buyer on me who could "pick it up tomorrow" and I was 250 miles away. He did say he would wait for me but clearly was happier to sell sooner. I didn't care for his style (or the style of a fellow LZer who contacted the seller even though the sale was agreed on the seller's thread) so I walked away. They are welcome to each other!

I can't afford this one at the moment but it is something to consider. I'm still a little wary as mine pulls like a train from 800rpm with the TGV and a VNT Turbo. I can't feel the boost, just grunt!!

thanks for input i now have atf fluid and filter kit gonna try that and keep my fingers crossed. its a strange 1 as today it was not as bad so im gonna try and fiddle with it

AJC will your t/box fit on my autobox ?

When AWT reconditioned my transfer box, I had him change it from 1:222 to 1:410.
Best thing I've done to the vehicle to date. MUCH more drivable.
