They did not read ANY post I made correctly. Not the first one, not the second one, not the third one etc. etc. etc. I literally explained that I went onto gentleman of salvage and looked at multiple pictures of both differential side-by-side...

Update... MOT didn't go well. In fact, garage called me after starting it up and turning it straight off again as after sitting for hours, it was doing the usual white smoke and misfiring on starting. I explained that it would stop smoking after...

Just checked & it's not on there.

Ashcroft only do P38 not L322 and they make it clear not to ask them about the L322.

My L322 is just like my ex-wife. Looks great, but cost me money all the time, and there is always something wrong with it. And no sex. Plus she has a huge rear end, being the "full fat" version. And there are newer models of the same car that do...

You could try calling Ashcroft Transmissions & ask them ?

Have you seen this thread? It seems to be up your street! https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/l322-rear-diff-upgrade-replacement-advise-please.336219/

Water pump runs off different belt so most likely not changed.

...and no sex!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

It all looks easy and identical from photos and I cannot see why LR would change the drive train for one diff version only. But why take the risk when I can ask the forum? Oooops.

Diesels totally different, especially 200tdi, real bugger wen it is cold, and you are going to get the cold harder than most of us.

Just realised that if the vehicle doesn't have a beam axle then the halfshafts will presumably be mounted on flanges or something, you can tell I do not know the L322 at all!

I looked on gentlemen of salvage and they have multiple pictures of diffs from many different angles and all of the mounting points look exactly the same. I just thought to make sure I could ask the question here and get the answer. I can...

After the day I had yesterday here with insults basically from the get go I cannot tell who is serious and rude and who is joking. My primary concern as specified in my initial comment is the RPM and not the fuel savings. So many people have...

I sympathise about working on a drive or a street on a hill, I have to do similar! I did once have to take the diff out of a D1 to fix it, on my gravel drive. It wasn't that hard. The question I would be wanting the answer to is whether the...

I have the military anti burst locks so door handle is down by your hip same as the fronts. So it is no issue form that respect not having a door car.

I think both @kevstar and I were talking tongue in cheek, but never mind! And I speak with a little experience as I regularly tow a car on a trailer with my D2 TD5 auto, (from the UK to south west France) so I do know a bit about how easily a LR...

Obviously I can buy one diff. Just going off pictures they seem to be identical in the mounting points. The only reason I came here to ask the question was I thought that would be a much simpler solution as somebody might know the answer. I work...

I know that these memes are popular with young girls on Instagram and I'm starting to think that you need to reattach your balls.

OK, here is a halfway house. Buy ONE diff and fit it, just to see if you can. If you can, buy another, fit it then try it out, mixed driving and so on. I'll not mention brim-to-brim testing as you don't care about fuel. Might it be a...

Oh FYI, my trip is Belgium, German, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Portugal. Barely touching France on the way to Belgium and from Italy to Spain. But hey, why not take out my spare tire from my spare tire space to put in an LPG tank in order to save...

I have said many times that I am not concerned about fuel cost. I am also not concerned about the casings of the diff. I just mentioned those things as minor bonuses in changing the diffs. Why would I spend a few thousand on an LPG system and...

I don't understand what you are talking about. I posted three different questions on two different forums so as to get a wide range of people to look at them in order to get the answers to my questions. It just happens that RRPhil chose to...

You have put up here what I was thinking all along as I have only just come to this thread. LPG is very well supported in France, which he'll be driving through at 130 kph, I assume. And I was also wondering how these cars are built if the diff...

I get the impression you are connected by more than merely a choice of forum to RRPhil. :vb-agree:

Like I said, you people throw out insults but you don't have any facts. Literally telling me that the gearbox will not go into fifth gear when it has a manual function that can be moved into fifth gear. But then finding it offensive when I...

I suppose the £30 quid fitting works for some models. My daughter’s battery recently died and I took it out to recharge it. On putting it back in I had to go through her handbook to erase the numbers that kept flashing up on the dashboard. Window...

My concern is RPM and having the engine doing less constant revolutions over a one month trip. Obviously driving constantly at 5,000 RPM puts more wear on an engine than driving constantly at 1,000 RPM. That is not something that I need to debate...
