[robert francis]

hi, can anyone shed any light please,
i got a discovery 200tdi auto, i went to change the transfer box today to find its the wrong 1, i break jeeps part time but no mechanic.
i bought a 200tdi transfer box but its wrong i didnt no there was any differance,
so i went to my unit i got
1 x 300tdi transfer box
2 x 200tdi transfer box
all with the wrong part number on, coz mine auto and the 1's i got are from manual
is there a differance, can anyone put my mind to rest thanks

In what way do you mean that it is wrong.

Assuming you have the complete transfer box I see no reason why you cannot replace like for like.

Some later LT230 had a Q suffix for Quiet gears, but I can't think of any reason why you can't swap whole units.

Identifying your Unit

The LT 230 was fitted to all 5 speed Defenders, all Discos and the RR Classic up to 1988. The serial number will be stamped in one of 2 possible places, either on the bottom left of the main casing or on the earlier vehicles right at the bottom of the left hand side face of the main casing obscured by the exhaust pipe in which case you will need a knife (to scrape the muck off) and a mirror. You are looking for Eg. "28D123456E, you are interested in the first two and the last, i.e. a "28E".

The Borg Warner serial number is printed on a plate at the bottom middle of the rear face. The numbers will look like this Model No: 13-61-005. The numbers and letters after the model number will vary from type to type so you will need to know all the numbers or letters shown.

12D = 1.667 LT 230R, 13D = 1.410 LT 230R, 14D = 1.003 LT 230R, 15D = 1.192 LT 230R, 20D = 1.667 (2.5 N/A 110), 22D = 1.410 (all 4Cyl 90/110 bar above),
25D = 1.410 (V8 110 LT 85), 26D = 1.003 (RR Classic 3 speed auto), 27D = 1.192 (early RR Classic), 28D = 1.222 (RR and Disco I), 29D = 1.192 (V8 90 LT 85),
32D = 1.222, 34D = 1.410 (2.0 Disco I), 36D = 1.211, 38D = 1.211, 40D = 1.211 (NAS/Japan 90&Disco), 41D = 1.211 (Disco II, diff lock stud), 42D = 1.211 (Disco II, diff lock stud),
43D = 1.410 (90/110 TD5), 57D = 1.410 (90/110 TD5), 61D = 1.211, 62D = 1.211, 68D = 1.211, 69D = 1.211, 70D = 1.211 (Disco II, no diff lock)
