So yes basically you want to do exactly what I've just done with ours.
Was:
Disco engine 200tdi pushed forwards disco lt77 gearbox and disco 1.22:1 lt230 with 205 tyres.
Now:
Disco 200tdi (now in the original position) with Steve parker exhaust coupled to a defender lt77 (in correct original position) and a 1.41:1 lt230 with 33" tyres.
A 1.22 transfer box is bearable if you have standard tyres and rarely tow. But personally I prefer my set up the taller tyres give you better cruising but the lower transfer box mean it's still good for towing and round town.

Hi Mike, I don’t suppose you would be able to talk this through with me please, currently I have like four bolts in the gearbox due to previous owners bodge between a disco 300tdi and a defender LT77. The gearbox output shaft has snapped so I have ordered a new gearbox and transfer box from Winchester gears and also putting a LOF clutch in while it’s all out. When I put it back together I don’t want to have a bodge of a job any more, what tools do I need abs have you got any guidance etc!
