Had a look under the 90 and I can confirm its not painted just silver aluminium So is it lt 85 ? And is there any other land rovers it was used in

all silver ? no black centre ?

yeah 85 then, can see a 77 in the pic too, the black centred one

no ,but if its the 22c split case type its not too bad a job to replace lay shaft bearings

yeah if its all silver then its an lt85, i asked james martin (above) originally when i had this problem, mine turned out top be a 77 but mines not original v8
