FridgeFreezer Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Posted here (following thread on the RR forum) I've got a problem with an exhaust for a range rover. Vehicle is an '86 3.5 EFi Classic, zorst is a SSS Stainless system from a J-reg 3.9 Classic. It was going fine until we tried to bolt the X-member back in, then the exhaust was found to be in the way - did they change the crossmember shape / position with the later classics? And do I ring paddocks and order a new crossmember, or a new exhaust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Yep Early RR have a box shaped crossmember, and later ones its a tubular jobbie with differing shape a bit Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge - I think I've got the tubular cross-member, although the end mounting plates have been cut down a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 My microcat shows it as being NTC5031 and you can make out the curved ends to the crossmember. shown as being used on the CSK and 3.9 models. When i had the 3.9 in my 90, i had the curved end crossmember too. can't remember what i did with the darn thing now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 Cheers guys! Andy - is the crossmember still servicable / MOT-able? If so I'll take it and probably owe you about this much beer by now If not I'll order a new 'un. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
