Thanks Miktdish... I have contacted Wrights Offroad to add this element to the mix... again as with the power steering box (which has forced this whole event...) If I add to the T-Box pallet, I will save on shipping costs. I have used the Wrights Offroad in the Military Wolf and found it to be...

Thanks for the advice all. I believe there is no perfect soloution here, but... I leaning towwards both a 1:2 ratio and 16/85/235 tyres Reasons: 1. I'm in a position to change out the T-box, so that's that... I need to choose the most appropriate. 2. I'm not happy with the racket, high revving...

Thanks chaps! Im understanding more here! So I get the body is different between a Defender / Disco, but surely the 1:2 T-box gearing should make the engine quieter and thus not sound like its thrashing its self, compared to the 1:4 box....?

Yep, many thanks, I have posted and had a lot of similar feed back from Facebook groups too. Thank you.

@jamesmartin thanks for the reply. So no issues with the 1:2 T-box in respect of the R380 compared to the Disco 300TDI auto box??

Hello all, Advice please! I am about to pull the trigger on a rebuilt T-box for a 110 Defender (1998 300TDI) I dont tow, I do drive a lot on the highway / motorway. I want a quieter, nicer motorway drive. I'm attempting to emulate my Discovery 300TDI Auto box ride. Do I opt for a 1:2 T-box...

Hello all, I hope to 'mod' the R/H front under seat to house a leisure battery. Problem is the recess there is a tad small. I have tried to search, but not really getting anywhere... Has anyone done this or know of someone that has done this 'mod?' Thanks in advance, Sean. :D

@ Lisbeth, thank you and hi....

ah… erm, yes…. upon a quick re-read of the first-ish posts I see you did change the rad and water pump! so apologies for the run down memory lane…. and on a positive note, someone did once tell me that 'reading for the brain, is the same as gym for the muscles…' so you...

Hi all, v interesting read on the over heating piece and debate regarding viscous v electric fans… also the piece reference the carefully thought out engineering of the engine operating from -30 deg to +50. I can only comment on my personal experiences and observations with the four Land...

@ Land Rover Kid... Many thanks from the Yorkshire area, used to hail from the Leeds area about 25 years ago....

Hello Adam. Sean here. Live the dream mate and enjoy. There is just so much you can do to the Landy to really personalise it and truly make it your brother... I have been into Morocco in all sorts (yota land cruisers ) but nothing compares to the sheer joy of my Defender! Enjoy bud....

Great thread gents! seems it's ticking along nicely, hope to be in Maroc myself at about the same time. not travelling through on this one unfortunately, more a family holiday in the mountains over the pond from Gib… hope all goes well for you all!

yep @ JAYGTI, many thanks bud… @ GEMSDAD, your quite right mate, I wonder if I qualify for some kind of 'non achiever award' lol… trouble is sometimes with the job I'm away every now and then, and other's it can be that busy, I might as well still be out... :( will try make an effort...

hmmm… not too sure if I have already intro'd in the past?:o? anyway's in the interest of etiquette and in the case of no intro…. :o erm, hello. as some may say better late than never lol :D

Righty - here goes.... (have done a thread check) I'm no spanner monkey so guess how impressed with myself I was when I changed the refurbed starter motor with an OE Bosh yesterday... (I know, it's only 3 bolts and another for the solenoid wires etc,,,) Trouble is the bloody thing still had...

I'm having some similar issues with my 1998 110 rear door - bloody thing wont lock, but sometimes (generally after I've humped / dumped all the rear load space contents!) after a drive it sort of vibrates / jolts it's self locked... Well - I was thinking about a lock upgrade? think I heard...
