    GKN Overdrive - Questions

    Hi All - As I am running my Def 110 on motorways a lot I had replaced my LT230 standard transfer box with a Disco 1.1:222, which helped a lot in noise / speed / economy. I am now planning to add a GKN overdrive. I understand that the GKN unit is a straight fit for a Defender LT230 box with 26...

    Allisport intercooler TD5

    Yes - about 45 mins ago - For the first time o eBay I took a bot of a risk but in fairness that was installed on a very similar engine bay to mine, so hoefully either my local Specialist in surrey will be able to do it (he's absolutely great) or possibly Allisport even!
