Thunderball54 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Hello everyone, Looking at a 1990 Range Rover diesel with missing High-Low lever and missing the front prop shaft. What could possibly be the reason for their removal? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Front prop - perhaps the prop was dead, or the viscous coupling is seized. No idea why the hi lo lever would be removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonimouse Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Might have had a t box change and it wasn't finished off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I'd have good look underneath to see if there actually still is a transfer box and not an attempt at a 2wd conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why the hi lo lever would be removed. Most likely VC seized mystery about transfer case lever though as now I'm thinking the transfer case missing if at all possible since it actually drives. problem is I'm 2000km away to physically check.

The problem is I'm 2000km away. I had the same thought about the transfer case. It can't be at all possible though since it actually drives through the rear wheels.

Escape Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 The transfer box could have been replaced by an adapter to connect a prop directly to the gearbox. Or a different gearbox fitted, one meant to have an output flange instead of a transfer box. Not being able to actually see the vehicle does complicate matters! Can't you ask someone local(ish) to go and have a look? I've had fellow forum members go look at a car for sale on Ebay for me on several occasions.

Arjan Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Where is this RR ? Somebody could go and have a look for you perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
