Gregved Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 hi all I'm fitting a discovery transfer box (From 300tdi disco ) to a defender 200/300tdi hybrid. The transfer box is electrical, I've removed the sensor and left with the square peg were the speedo cable should slot in. The cable square seems slightly big to fit in, is this normal and if that's the case what do I do? Am I able to either file down the end of new cable to slot in or what I don't wanna do and take out drive gear. If so what colour gear do I go for the speedo cable (265, 75, r16 tyres) Many thanks gregved05, Today at 2:09 AMEditReport #1+ QuoteReply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 no need to alter the speedo cable end, all the drive gears are used in all models, use the blue 20tooth gear frc3310. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 When I used a discovery t box on my 90 the drive gear had a different size cable end..... when i swapped the drive gear to correx8the speedo reading i had to have a new cable inner made....

Gregved Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Thanks for the replies guys, so I guess I'll have to remove the speedo gear in the transfer box, to the blue tooth one so the new cable fits? many thanks greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregved Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Also off topic, I put a 300tdi disco engine into to a 200tdi defender. I've changed the temp sender (to a 300tdi defender) in the engine. Will that work OK with my gauge in the dash. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 nope, either make a adaptor so you can use the original engines temp sender or contact Steve parker land rovers they do a suitable sender for tdi into older vehicle. according to this parts info item 16 you already have the correct speedo gear fitted http://www.albrit.de/UNI.cfm?PAGE=804443&SPRACHE=EN click + to read part number [non gulf states] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
