Excellent, thank you. I came here to ask a simple question and not to justify the validity of that question, repeatedly, while not even being listened to when I did that. And not to then be insulted when my answers did not satisfy the people...
Clearly you know way more than I about such things.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
BTW - how can you say I provided no facts, when you yourself couldn't even be bothered to look up the gear ratios. Something I did and SAHRED with you. Including speed plots, which...
I looked back and the first three people who responded were patronizing and insulting in their comments. One of them was you.
"This info is a little confusing kiddo."
You did not say that but that was the first response that I got, and it...
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...
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...
Have you seen this thread?
It seems to be up your street!

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.
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 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...
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...
