Yes, they run below alongside the engine and then to the front to go to the cooler. I use a discovery Td5 cooler in my 110 Td5 automatic.

Why not bold the engine to the gearbox and find the place then. I had a conversion from v8 to Td5 and bolted the engine to my automatic and found 50mm distance to the back of the engine bay the right position. (I have the automatic of the V8 attached, and this is 50mm shorter than the Td5 one. So engine sits 50mm back but all fits. Only small extention of the hoses to the radiator and cooler. I didn'd want to remount the gearbox, because of the propshafts. cheers Theo

I am in the race for the Truetrac type to replace the front and rear diff. This will not lock 100% but together with the central difflock it will do most. On more than one occasion it will work fine and good. There are only a fue extrem situations were this setup has it limits. Overall I think it is relailable, simple and effective On grass and wet land you dont have the "slip/slide" of the locked wheels from a 100% difflocker but all wheels will do there work well. Also when driving a curve, the truetrac type of locker works. as a locker cant do this without sliding/slipping wheels. Even on tarmac you have 4x4 where you beter not use 100% lockers. Ashcroft makes a Truetrac type one as well now. Only not for the Sallsbury.

I didn't know as welll. I had a disco II and had a manual controle fitted to the CDL meself. This way I had the TC AND CDL when I wanted. CDL did not turn my TC of. I only installed a Boden cable to the small lever on top of the central diff lock shaft.

Okay, thanks for the advice. I know what to do next week. Best regards Theo

Thanks for the quick reply. I thought I had to change the balancer and pedalunit as well. Because of diverence with drum brake and disc system pressure in system to keep cups under pressure ???Anyway it is a straight swap because I have all the parts of the donor available.

That will not be the problem, as the compleet donor is next to the 1986 at the moment. (the donor has made a rollover, so the body is nacked. the techical part is partly in use in my 1986, I swaped the v8 for the Td5 and the front axle RHD for the Td5 LHD). So no need to change the balancer or brakepedal? Thanks for the advice

Can any one point me in the right direction? I have an 1986 110 and a donor 2002 Td5 rear axle. Can i swap the rear axle so I have disc brakes rear? The front axle is already replaced by the front of the same 110 Td5 donor. Do I have to replace the brake pedal or brake flued split unit (I don't know the right name) the one mounted to the bulkhead under the heater unit that divides the flued to front and rear brake lines??? Do I have to swap more? regards Theo

A axle snapping can always happen. Most likely it had already a fracture from a different action. I have read the ashcroft site, but can not find any info about the centre diff replacment with either a Quaife or other brand. I have my info out of the HAYNES Land Rover Defender Modifying Manual. So I sended Ascroft a mail and wait for the answer.

Strange. When I look around the web, i find only positive readings about Quaife. Also at Ashcroft they promote this stuf, and say it is stronger than any other. High quality steel, and more internal gears to work together. so less stain per gear. In what situation do you need a central lock when you have 3 LSD fitted?

Dos a centre LSD Quaife in the LT230 box have still a difflock option? I have read a interesting article about 3x LSD in the drive line of a defender. One front, one rear, and one centre diff. I think is is a very nice and interesting setup. I would like to hear some experiance Regards Theo
