Yes it has because everyone here has continued to repeat the same incorrect information over and over again and throw out more and more insults and never stop.
I spent almost a year reading this forum and this is standard behavior for most of...
Thanks for the same answer that I have already explained multiple times I have no interest in doing if the diffs will not fit.
This is why I am laughing at you guys.
I repeatedly explain my reasons for not following your completely ridiculous...
I was literally insulted with the very first sentence that the very first person said.
The second comment was a massively patronizing insulting comment.
Go back and look for yourself.
I have not had a terrible experience, I have said many...
That is only your opinion as there is nothing that you have said in your conclusions that is factual, based on your data.
On your reasoning I could drive around in second gear for a month and it wouldn't make any difference to the engine.
I...
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...
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...
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...
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!
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.
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 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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
I agree but if I look at the torque curve for my VANOS equipped engine it will be OK.
I posted the torque curve earlier on here.
Here it is again to save you looking for it.
I'm not playing the victim, all of you people crying because I won't listen to your dumb ideas are playing the victim.
Don't you get it, none of you have the answer to the question that I asked so instead of admitting that you don't know what...
I would assume so but the problem is that the oil is coming out of the gap between the solenoid and the transfer case so I have to know the parts to buy before I pull it apart otherwise the car cannot drive and I need it to be able to drive.
It...
I have an enormous amount of mechanical experience but I don't really care to justify it to you. I don't know anyone who doesn't understand that a lower RPM for many hours is better for the longevity of an engine.
I am not talking about an...
I used to live in Portugal and I drove a Renault Cleo from there to England 10 years ago, so I know the trip reasonable well.
I will visit a friend in Belgium and a friend in Switzerland on the journey so the ferry is not an option.
I will also...
