    Yes, comparable quality to OME I would say. Fits very well. It does say when fitting if everything doesn't line up then you need to adjust your engine mounts. Thankfully mine was good!

    issue fitting a Romerdrive to 300TDI

    Sure thing, that's with it in the engaged position, while I was testing in the garage. When disengaged its pulled down towards the center/cubby box. Its all very neat. Nothing interferes, and you can operate all your gear sticks with any of them in any position. Driving wise, it's a bit of...

    issue fitting a Romerdrive to 300TDI

    So it took me 3 x 4hrs sessions I would say. It is cold at the moment, which things slower some how. The instructions said a typical installation should take 3hrs. Having done it now, 3hrs is realistic if you don't have any issues and have done it before, I think. The difficulty with the...

    okay, so I have done some digging. I do have a 1:1.4 ratio gear set thankfully. basically, you need to find your transfer box serial number. I found mine on the left of the transfer box just above the oil slump cover, under what I suspect to be a combination of road grim, half the Salisbury...

    okay, that's interesting. oh no that sounds like a nightmare! I really appreciate the offer but If I don't get it sorted by Wednesday she will sit in the garage until I can get back down to my folks, unfortunately. I was based in Bicester, but I sold my house and moved to North Yorkshire, we...

    issue fitting a Romerdrive to 300TDI

    no just 6 bolts, it looks identical to the one in your picture, other than the at 6'oclock position. my Landy is Ex-military. but as far as I understood the transmission doesn't have any differences compared to the civilian model. the part catalogue doesn't seem to state anything differently. I...

    issue fitting a Romerdrive to 300TDI

    okay, that's a bit concerning then. as far as I know, I have a standard transfer box. it does have a bearing, you can see it when looking in, but there is no lateral movement and it turns very smothly.

    issue fitting a Romerdrive to 300TDI

    yes, it looked like that, but mine had six-bolt heads, it doesn't have what looks like a threaded rod with a nut on it at the 6'oclock position though, like in your picture.

    That's the rear, behind the pto cover. Next to the drum brake. That gear is supposed to be removable. I know alot of people have successful fitted these roamerdrives so there must be something I am missing.

    Suspension confusion

    Morning All. Looking at replacing the springs and dampeners on my Landy, it ex-military and has the part numbers from the part catalog for my version. My confusion comes from the springs, I know that most Defenders have slightly different sizes for each side. The part number in the catalog for...
