I have emailed Ashcroft transmissions concerning the 2 listed gear sets they advertise and if they both do same job without affecting ratios ? I am still waiting for a reply a week later ? Before I return all the wrongly manufactured parts they sent me. I am not overly impressed with them so far .

On another note Was fitting the ATB diff worth the exspense ? How has it improved the drive ? It's on my possibilities list if worthwhile ? Cheers

Hi Brown Thanks for your Reply My worry's were the 2 different sets of diff gears available and listed by the gearbox specialists the 14/9 sun planet set and the 16/10 set ? Why list the 2 different types if they do the same job and do not alter any final ratios ?? Would perhaps the 14/9 tooth...

Cheers Marjon You have been very helpfull. Chap at cradocks said the 14/9 gear set would not be suitable for my 1.141 transfer box . It would mess up the ratio. I also bought a super tough cross bearing carrier for a new gear set so that's also redundant now . I am in shock all the specialists...

My only option may be to scrap the Landrover centre diff and fork out the £400 for a ATB complete Diff. I'm gutted that basic parts are so rare

Paddock spares none John craddock have none Also they say they can't get any 16/10 gears only the superseded part number STC2940 which are the wrong ratio for my 1.141 transfer box. Looks like keeping Landrovers up together is getting near impossible if parts are getting this rare?

Cheers Marjon That part number shows a ,14/9 set My diff had the 16/10 . And I don't know why the difference??? Regards Rich

Yep, cheers for that Only trouble is Us a STC2940 a 16/10 sun planet combo ,? I need to count the teeth on the gears

Ok Got back to Mr Nothelpfull with a part number RTC4490 He tells me then part number should be STC4490 ????,............... But we don't have any in stock !! FFS I'm shaffted There's no diff gear sets in the UK

Hi I phoned them Stuart has retired Chap in end of phone said he couldn't help unless I had part number ? Which seems vague for a landrover specialist ? Now to try and find landrover part numbers for a 16/10 diff gear set ???

Anitaraac Have you phone number or web address please for Evolution ? They are not coming up on any search ? Cheers

Hi Aniraarc Yes the 1:1.41 Thanks for link , Cheers

Hi All I am attempting a complete overhaul of a 4:1 ratio transfer box for my Defender. I have got stuck finding new Sun gears for the differential , I bought a overhaul set from Ashcroft transmissions but upon questioning Dave about why they are different , he tells me the supplier has...

No There are 5 wires to the guage . All wired correctly as per VDO wiring diagram . My problem is finding the correct sender (temp sensor , thermocouple,wax plug etc) That works with a 120 degree celcius VDO guage. VDO guages are matched to senders apparently .

Hi Earth continuity is good. Yes I couldn't find PRC2505.1 either ? I guess the VDO guage idea causes more problems than it's worth . Think will switch back to standard landrover parts and just be careful
