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.

Here is the torque curve for the engine. I am not concerned with fuel economy. I just want lower RPM on the highway.

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...

ICarSoft said "From our experience, it is not possible to do suspension changes with any iCarsoft device on your vehicle."

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...

I just got my answer so I think that your odds are pretty funny.

Actually I just got my answer 15 minutes ago. So your 1000 to 1 book is pretty funny. I should've taken the odds.

Thank you for actually making an effort and giving me actual information. This would have been put to bed if people had just said that they did not know and did not spend the last day and a half throwing out condescending insults. Remember...

Casings appear to be the same fairly certain the rear subframes are too so the mounting points should make sense to be the same and from what I can find, the driveshafts all appear to have the same part numbers so I'd say it's worth the gamble to...

And as I said I'm not making the trip for several months so I'm in no rush.

When you say no one here knows, you are assuming that every single person who looks at this forum site has already looked at this particular question and given their answer. That is obviously not the case. All you are really saying is that the...

Yes I know but I saw it and since people might not have read anything before the last comments it was worth putting that comment there for others. Not for you. So basically I was not posting to you, either.

Or wait to see if someone with knowledge answers my simple question.

And as I said, Ashcrofts do not do the L322.
