How easy is it to fit E reg range rover axles onto a P reg defender?? Can it be done? Has anyone done it?? Any information would be a great help!
-
Why would you want to???
Any Defender after 1994 (P reg would be 1997) has a disk braked rear axle as standard, so would you want to swap for an older Range Rover one???
As it happens, would be a straight swap though.....

my defender has no axles... and someone offered me a pair of e reg range rover axles for a small fee..
-
virtually the same then....
Though at the front you will need the range rover radius arms and a Defender drag link and track rod.... RR has a different steering damper mounting compared to a Defender (and you'll want the 'better' Defender set-up)
Also front calipers.... RR ones may be twin feed (i.e. two inputs) rather than the Defender single feed. Easiest would be to get a set of defender calipers.... there are other ways around this though.

As long as it is a 90.

cheers ian, thats a great help.. looks like i could have all the bits i need!! bein as im lookin at buyin the whole range rover... maybe i should put the big engine in as well!!! you were right about the calipers, they are twin feed, will have to pick some defender ones up.

Not necessarily :wink:
If you fit 110 rear spring seats and get a custom prop RR axles will also fit (the rear of) a 110.
