..........put a Td5 Disco transfer box straight onto a Td5 Defender ?

I'm toying with the idea of raising the high range ratio, Ashcrofts do an exchange service, but I may be able to get hold of a complete Disco T-box.

i would hazard a guess as yes, but you wont have a center diff

does your defender have t/c ?

Ooo, poop - hadn't thought about that, haven't thought about anything in fact !

No, 110's not got t/c.

I suppose I could try and get one of the later Td5 Disco T-boxes that has diff lock (my '02 Disco does not)........or fork out for the Ashcroft setup - trouble with that is if I don't like the higher ratio, I can't change back easily.

Early Td5 also have diff lock just no gear stick, If you look on Disco parts I think that gives the serial numbers for identfying  if the tranny box has the bits req inside..

why not put a 300tdi Tbox in as the rations are the same unless u are after the Q (quiet) gear setup

Mike - assume you mean 300tdi Disco Tbox, does it bolt straight on ?

I'm not fussed about the Q gears - the stereo should drown out most of the noise...... :twisted:

Yes there the same......just have to change the output propshaft flange on the front.

Didnt the workshop section on this forum show how to fit the CDL onto a td5 subject to the box having the correct unused bits inside. seem to remember considering it for mine. But where's the workshop gone???

Yes, I think it did. But, if a box out of a 300tdi will fit, then that's probably the easier route as I'll only have to change the front output doofah, and not muck about trying to lash up the difflock lever.
