As above putting disco axles ona defender.
Can i put the 4 bolt flange from the original axle on the rear diff to get rid of that rubber coupling??
anybody done this before? as always any advice greatfully recieved
Cheers Bill
-
Yes I believe you can. Fairly common thing to do as well.
-
Got a rear disco axle i changed its internals for the defenders diff and driveshafts and 2 driveshaft roller bearing only part diffrent i found.
Straight swap. I have no idea how you remove them rubber mounts for disco props.

how do you get the rear flange of the disco diff???

Ok hit a slight snag.

Will get this finished eventualy
cheers Bill

You have the patience of a saint. Most of us would have torched it by now !
-
dont tempt me!!
and its such a joy to work on in this weather!
-
I know ! The 2a is parked up immobile in the one shed I can get a LR in, so the 90s gearbox oil got changed lying on a plastic sheet on the snow :-(
Its not got above freezing all day here so the "thaw" has yet to do its job on our track - so my car is still stuck at the house. OK, I enjot driving the LR but its flaming expensive when the daily commute is 150 miles !
-
That sound expensive!!!
Could someone even advise me which shaft i need as their seems to be quite a choice!!
-
Hi Bill,
there's no prop made to fit as this wasn't a factory fit, the closest would be for a 2002 onwards 110 which has a p38 range rover diff with a shorter nose than the salisbury so might be closer in length. It's either that or propshaft services and have one made.
I would have left the salisbury on the 110 as it's 4 pin and pretty bullet proof even if its still got drums and put the disco rear on the 90 to give disc brakes on the rear, it's a straight swap onto the 90 once the diff flange is changed.
cheers,
Stevie.
-
not good news just spent all day fitting this to 110!!!
-
Sorry mate, don't mean to be negative. I would measure from flange on transfer box to diff flange with the 110 sitting with the weight on its wheels, take the new length required and phone propshaft services for a price to have one made up out of your original prop. This would be quicker than trying to match one up.
cheers,
Stevie.

Is the disco axle not up to the job on the 110 ??
before i go getting prop lengthend!!
-
Never realised or read ur original post correctly if a 110.
Id find a sailsbury or repair the original.
Read a few threads in the past and noone reccomends fitting a disco rear axle. Not ament to be strong enough. Doing it to a 90 seems fine lots of those been done inc myne.
Would be failry cheap aslong as your axle casing is still in good condition and worth repairing?.
If the axles knackered there were a few 110,s sitting in the scrappy in Loanhead last time a checked.
-
Hi Bill,
If your using it off road, towing and generally working your 110 I would save your money getting a prop done and stick with the salisbury. It's a much stronger unit all round and if you really want find a disc brake 110 salisbury to change to later on.
Stick the disco axle on the 90, that only costs time.
cheers,
Stevie.
-
Have you replaced the Disco axle spring seating to take the bigger One Tens springs?
george
-
Yes changed those over.
Looks like i will have to change everything back again ???
-
Malcolm and the landy scrappy did have a 110 rolling chassis. Maybe contact him for the axle.
-
i know some one who has a 110 axle with drum brakes if any good
-
All sorted now big thanks to everybody ;D
