Ok Thanks for that. I will have a good poke around today and reort back. Would be great to find something simple.

Hi western I've found a guy willing to sell me the transfer box from his 22year old discovery. Its a 200tdi.says the rustworms finally got it so hes breaking it for parts. Would that do the job do you think? I've had her on a run this weekend for 150miles with the current transfer box and she is dead on the hills. wont go over 50-55mph and down to a crawl when climbing a hill. About 25mph and having to drop down to 3rd or even 2nd so its no good for what i need it for. I dont need to pull trailers or anything. Just a well loaded landy with dogs and a roofrack and i dont understand all this 1.44 ratio stuff. Can you let me know what you think thanks for the help so far Connor

ok When i first came across the landy there was a 2.5 litre petrol engine in it. Dont know if it was the original. It had been a military vehicle at the beginning of its career. Possibly swansea we think. Anyways, What you guys are saying is a 200tdi transfer box would fit? I'm not bothered about the towing because it wont be used for that sort of work but it will be on manys a long journey (Norway and back. The Missus hails from there) with dogs in the back and stuff on the roofrack. At the minute it wont go over 55mph and the engine is screaming a bit and the turbo is whistling more than i'm assuming it should be. Thanks lads for the info so far. Dont know what i'd do without youall. Sweeney110

Hello everyone Back again with some more daft questions for the oracles!! Got my 1987 110sw throught the god damned Northern Irish mot (first time shes ever had to do that) and she sailed through and is now out and about on the road where she belongs after three years in a field. A bit of welding, poking and hammering, New paint job, Volvo front seats and Renault Scenic middle row seats( all thanks to info from you guys in here so thank u very much). Now, my next thing is this. There is a 1996 discovery fitted to the original lt77 gearbox and the transfer box is, I assume original too. Both seem to be in good order but it is very slow.(no more than 55mph). Does anyone know if i should fit a different transfer box, will it make a difference and if so which one would fit onto said gearbox without too much hassle? once again i'm sure there is a topic in here somewhere with the answers i need but i cant find them. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Sweeney 110

Thanks for that . Its great to be able to ask someone who knows. That would've taken a while to find. Thanks again sweeney110

Hi all I've just got a 1987 110 station wagon. I'm wanting to figure out how to put seat belts in the second row seats. I'm sure this question has been asked before but i cant find the answers. Can someone please point me in the right direction Thanks Sweeney110
