Oh yes.... That is also a possibility... Hope not though - makes it even more complicated...

Thanks.. Now it is time to find out what other parts are needed to dress this axle casing up into a functioning rear axle.

Thank You all for the quick reply. So, rear D1 axle should be a long nose ?

Goedemiddag, For a project I was asked if a differential was a "short nose" or a "long nose" ? Not heard diffs described that way before. - what are they ? - what is the difference ? - how to tell them apart ? Thank you.

Thanks Gary ! Reading all the replies I guess there is a fair chance the bolt patterns are the same. Now, all I have to do is be patient and wait another 2 weeks and try.

Well, this is the donor of the 1st Mazda : This 110 with a Mazda 3500 Slti was driving around with an LT95 before they started on getting it out - my guess is that the flywheel / bell housing bolt pattern is V8 Of the LT85 I am also collecting is unknown the flywheel / bell housing bolt pattern is unknown as I do not know what engine that was originally mated to. However, I eventually will get another Mazda from that source and the seller claims that it should fit that LT85. So I will have to be patient....

Suitable for a chassis...... I have one of those, too, and you've given me an idea.... The Mrs. will be away a few weeks this Spring

Many thanks you all ! Hopefully I return from Holland later this month with a Mazda, an LT85 and an LT95...

I have WOR in both LHD and RHD vehicles and found them to fit very nice. I am changing - in the future - an R380 for an LT85 so it will be interesting to see what problems I run into..

Have you asked WOR (Wright OffRoad) ? Those are more money but seriously good...

The Mazda I hope to collect in 2 weeks time is a Mazda with a LT95 attached to it. However, I'd rather have a LT85 and I found one. Thus my question about the bolt pattern..

Hope so..... I really, really would like to mate a LT85 to that Mazda - the LT 95 was not on my list.. But, as you know, flywheel housings for them are more than rare... It is going to be a complicated NL trip..

Thank You !!

What model Pioneer is that please ?

I am awaiting a Mazda 3500 SLTi with a LT85 gearbox to go into a 110 chassis. However, i've been offered another Mazda (you can't have too many...) with a LT95. And somebody else offered me a loose LT85.... Question 1 : do the LT85 and the LT95 have the same bolt pattern for the flywheelhousing ? (the Mazda has a different flywheelhousing for the various gearboxes) Question 2 : are these 2 boxes (LT85 with an LT230) the same length ? (or do I need to change the gearbox ones ?) Many, many thanks.

No - as you said : you'll need an adapting spacer https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/da5006s-wheel-adaptor-individual-to-fit-disco-2-wheels-to-90110-disco-1-and-rrc.html These could do the job. I run steel D1 rims on my Series & 110

Thanks ! I really want to try and keep this DII as standard as possible (apart from the bumpers) as it is a works vehicle.

Trailer is almost matching... Safe travels !

Thanks !

Thank You ! What is a good supplier of the cartridge ? Replacing the whole turbo or "just" the cartridge is a lot of difference money wise...

Goedeavond, As the Discovery project is moving forward it has come to the point where some €€€ must be spent.. Turbo has axle play and oil in it and need replacing of the cartridge or a complete new turbo. Who has experience with either please ? Thank you.

Parked in a certain way outside ?

I found quite a few 2-doors here for you..

I'd suggest to sell it. Cash is always nice to have and you have more projects. I'm about to start the Ninety and that one, once finished, will be sold. I have enough LR's and if you don't use them you loose them.

Nice ! Just for suggestions, we had a set up like this in the 109 " / 88" / 110 : Slide out stove.. Works quite well... Was originally fitted to our 109" Hard Top and moved to the various other LR's over the decades.. 2 Gas bottles are sliding in and out making for a simple sturdy mount. Camping Gaz can be found almost everywhere and many meals were served from the back door.
