I might have to ask a 12 year-old girl to explain to me the meaning of your meme pictures that you like to post here.
The fact that none of you understand how rude and condescending you are and how unhelpful you are is what makes this situation...
I appreciate real feedback, I just don't appreciate patronizing insults.
That's the thing that you have never understood and never will.
If people had said something like "I do not know if the diffs will fit, but you might find the acceleration...
I think you have to admit that it is pretty funny when someone says that they have read the 10 pages of this issue and laughed at me for wanting a fuel efficient petrol V8 Range Rover after I had said many times that I don't care about fuel...
Thank you for the excellent photo and the precise measurements.
Last night I was reading about the problems with the potentiometer that you and others have been trying to solve for several years.
I stumbled across your posts while looking for...
Actually because of my previous experience and knowledge of mechanics and physics I knew that it would make sense to ask a Range Rover forum advice for doing something unusual on a Range Rover.
In fact someone without knowledge or experience...
I do not need to fit the new diff to be able to determine that it will fit.
I can do that with my eyes and with measuring devices such as rulers.
Then when I can see that it will fit I can order the other one, and then I can fit both of them on...
I posted an attachment that told you where the 2.76 diffs come from, and the rest of what it said had nothing to do with my answer to your question, but you thought that it did?
That was an answer from Google and had nothing to do with what I...
I agree with everything that you have said here, it is just that I am not worried about wear and tear on anything other than the engine due to running a higher RPM.
I am not concerned about the oil pressure because the engine will be running at...
FYI, I stopped commenting about fuel once you made that clear. My other posts were about the energy required to keep the car moving.
In principle agreeing with your theory about less engine wear, but the oil pressure question at lower RPM...
I would only buy one diff at first to see if it fits, but I would definitely not drive around with two differentials with different ratios.
But given the information that all of the L322 have the same part numbers for the drivetrain and the same...
Actually my question was if it was a crazy idea, not if anyone had done it.
I received a lot of abuse without any actual substance, and some abuse based on data but the data had nothing to do with the conclusion that caused the abuse...
I wasn't going to comment again here but given the stupidity of your comment I had to respond. If you actually read the 10 pages you would see the number of times I have stated that I have no issue with fuel saving.
So either you didn't read the...
I assume that this image is the lip seal, which appears to be corrupted in your example.
I assume that there is no way to buy this from anyone, unless you can suggest a supplier?
I found possible o-ring suppliers for the sizes that you...
Phil,
Thank you for responding, yes I would definitely appreciate your used O-ring.
The only reason that I called it a solenoid is because when I searched for the part online that specific name came up a lot.
I found one on eBay and they...
I don't think you were directly insulting but I think you did made insulting comments about me to others that I could see.
But there are a lot of people commenting here and I haven't really kept a track record of the level of rudeness of...
On that basis nobody should ever drive at 35 mph at the lower RPM? If the engine is cooled and has sufficient oil it doesn't matter. But higher RPM is more wear on the bearings, camshafts and cylinder bores.
If you look at the passive aggressive comments that started from the moment I posted here, I didn't get personal for a very long time.
Comments like "you clearly know nothing at all about Mechanics" or something like that because I didn't agree...
Also, re the "no one modifies cars"".
Well loads do, I for one seemingly never stop doing it, but then I did run a Kit car club and there is little more modded than that except perhaps Rods and Customs.
Exactly, someone told me that I could not do this modification because no one modifies cars anymore. That was their amazing insightful input. When I mentioned that people do modify cars they got offended.
I am already slow off the mark, rarely using more than 1,500 RPM when accelerating so that is unimportant to me.
If I am on a steep hill needing to go forwards or backwards slowly I can put it into low range for that special rare situation.
But...
Yeah, just got to the bottom of the thread and see events have progressed.
Changing diffs is quite usual on race cars or where people change wheel sizes. Of course, those pursuits require a fair bit of fettling and expense anyway!
Guess we'll...
Sills are fine, one arch is rusty and I'm fixing it this week. I just replaced all of the brake pipes and brake hoses on the car so I have been under it and in the wheel arches looking carefully at everything. There is also rust on the subframes...
Actually the only reason that you kept arguing and insulting me is because of your thin skins.
If you had thick skins you would have shut up when you failed to prove a point.
Like I said, I have watched this forum for about a year, getting...
Actually no, because every single person here who has given me a reason why the change would not work has given me reasons that are not valid. In fact the little data that they have presented shows that it would be reasonable.
So that part of my...
if you guys didn't have such thin skins you wouldn't have thrown out so many insults that I have been laughing at. And because I have been laughing at them I don't have a thin skin. Maybe logic is not your strong point.
FYI iCarSoft said "From our experience, it is not possible to do suspension changes with any iCarsoft device on your vehicle."
From what they have previously told me 2006 is the year where it changes, when the L322 used mostly Jaguar parts not...
My question was if it was a crazy idea or not. Given that he gave me factual information regarding part numbers and the subframe that means taking the next step is not a crazy idea. That answers my question. Maybe you people just can't read...
