300s were all r380 ,suffix g and h are very strong boxes g been the best due to h having a compound synchro on first and second which often fails,

The lt77 will be up to the job though won't it? Seeing as it was fitted to some 200tdi engines?

Okay, do you know whether fitting an lt77 to a disco transfer box is a pain or is it fairly easy to do?

I've just been looking through my pictures, to check something else, and I've spotted an error with the product codes I gave yesterday. The one for the down pipe, I've highlighted in bold above, is YRM product number 016C for my system. Sorry mate! Hope I spotted that in time before you ordered it!!

If i were to fit a 300tdi to my 1986 90, i would like to fit a straight thru exhaust pipe. I've seen them on paddocks for OK prices but they were for 200 and 300tdi ones which had the later exhaust brackets, so where can i find a straight thru pipe for my landy?

It looks like you changed your mind anyway, but...

Word of caution, if you do any miles in your LR then it will be a droning headache of a noise and you will hate it. I know this as I custom built an exhaust for mine a few years ago, to mock it all up I started with a straight through pipe to get all the twists and angles right then I cut it open to weld in the various bits including the silencer. I got it all mocked up and decided I would take it for a spin to see what it was like... I took it along a dual-carriageway at 40-50 and it was awful. For the first couple of times the turbo spooling diesel rumble sounds quite good, then the novelty wore off and I hurried back to get it taken off!

It may be you live on a farm with no neighbours to annoy and do very little mileage in it, then fine, but just a word of caution.
