I modded the snap ring by cutting a corner of it: This will make it much easier next time, as you can just remove it with a screwdriver. Daan

why do you need it flexible?

I hadn't realised your box is out already, so that is perfectly possible. On the 3 bearing it is a split seal, which need heating up in some boiled water to stop the rubber splitting. Daan

I am afraid it is rather involved as you need to take of flywheel and bellhousing. I supppose you could try moving the engine forward in the chassis and do it in situ, but it is rather delicate that way. Daan

I reckon nr 1; still recognisable as current, but renewed. Daan

GB springs, everybody is raving about them. if they are green than they are rocky mountain I think. Daan

GB springs seem to have good write ups. I have to say nothing else apart from parabolics would be on my list, especially as it is a reversable mod. Otherwise, removing leafs on your existing springs? Daan

I have a 300 tdi, on 300 mounts and 0 sound deadening. Interestingly, the noise at speed from this is quite ok, the only problem is tickover; this is truly horrific. I have never been able to sort this. At speed I also have to deal with simex tyres, which makes the engine noise sounds like a whisper. But basicily i generally cruise at 70 MPH. this is with 4.75 diffs and a 1.2 transfer box (lt77 with lt230 box). I have to have decent speed, as a weekend offroading in Wales involves driving there after work on a friday night and come back on a sunday night. Daan

I used the standard rear prop, fitted the engine and box to suit this location using my own mounts on the chassis, and used a def 90 rear propshaft at the front. All standard parts. Daan

Yes that will be ok. Daan

What about me?

You can go to taller transfer box ratios.

Salisbury axle, like a 110?

The series is more beautiful though. From the outside, it is a series no question to me. Inside, a defender is much better. Why not combine the 2 and build a Hybrid? Daan
