  1. Hi!

    I have added a Roverdrive DX to my LT280 transfer box. But according to the picture on their site the OD lever is near the diff lock small lever. However in my picture enclosed the OD lever is no where close to the small lever.

    Followed everything, cannot imagine any thing is wrong. Can you guys please help me on this.

    Picture of the lever.

  2. Transfer box is EP90 and the gearbox is probably atf in your case Prith (i think you should have an LT77 on yours). The boxes will thank you for the correct oil. I wouldnt worry about the seals.

    Great Reb, Thanks will put EP90 in the gearbox and ATF in the LT77. My transfer box is the LT280 & I have added the Roverdrive Overdrive plus their LT230 Wedge shaped Transfer case cover.

  3. My previous Landy owner did not maintain the 110 properly and was putting engine oil into the Transfer box/gearbox for many years here in India. Now trying to put EP90 will be a problem as its too thin and I might damage the oil seals. What is the correct oil to be use for the boxes.

  4. when i get five minutes i'll scan the back pages of the gas spring catalogue i have here, and get someone to add them to one of the posts. the details give extended length, stroke length and force (in N) per rod.

    there is also a set of drawings to go with it for the type of end fittings.

    some of them (audi's stand out) use a welded eye on the end, rather than a ball joint.

    Thanks would appreciate it.

  5. Guys, on my defender 200tdi rocker cover, other than the rocker cover gasket, there is on the front and the back a small semi circle hole, which is located below the rocker cover, seems to be the cylinder head assembly, is that the place for the Engine block core plug? My mechanic says that those two semi circle holes need to be plugged, as oil is leaking from there. (See page 184 on the parts manual and you can see on the front and back of the head assembly there is a semi circle hole, which has a groove, looks like that grove is for a plug of some sort.

    Can't find it in the parts book at all. Will try and get a picture. If anyone knows then can you give me the part number please.

  6. Prith, i would think that a 1.6:1 box with an overdrive will give you a final gear ratio similar to that of a disco box (1.2:1). It could work quite well really, as some say that the overdrove on 1.4:1 box leaves it a bit overgeared. So I would think you will have plenty of grunt low down and a reasonable top gear for cruising.

    Thanks Reb!
