    I hope you are not suggesting that all the Fairey Overdrives had the window and Archimedes screw device?

    Because if you are and I can get this camera to talk to this dud computer I'll show you a pic of a Fairey O/D from a SIII without the window right now ( just went out to the shed and took a pic). If you can wait until the weekend I'll also show you a pic of one from a LT95 Fairey without the window and Archimedes screw.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Have not worked out the certainties of oil flow in the OD as yet, (it could only by splash effect). I have seen some with holes in the inside the OD casing for oil flow but other than that it's sheer luck to guarantee proper lubrication. I will have to check out the TR overflow though.

    Back on topic, lets wait for the specs. and realities of the "Roverdrive epicyclic overdrive for the LT95 box" and pricing. If it was not going to cost the first born I am interested. (Even then I would be negotiable)

    Hi Muddy

    Yes I thought that is what you said and was just clarifying whether it was a statement of "that I have or have seen" Vs the statement "all overdrives for the LT95".

    The later situation is simply wrong as I fitted a brand new Fairey O/D to my standard Range Rover 2 door back in 1982. The overdrive didn't last until 1983 but did last long enough to be out of warranty. I still have that O/D (although without a usable part as it has been left open exposed to the elements since 1983) and it does not have the window/screw oil recirculation device.

    Hi Diana

    A pic of the early o/d(lt95) would be interesting but more importantly to me is a pic of the dog gear
    Is it possible to view this unit as in your area at present

    Please explain?? What is this window/screw oil recirculation device??

    My O/d had a scoop cast into the housing on either side of the input shaft that drains the oil thrown up by the tfr case into the O/D threw holes at the end of the scoops. Excess oil just drains back into the tfr case.

    Sorry I don't have an actual image of the device however there is a window in the top of the casting where the oil splashes into.

    Then there is a spiral groove cut into the outside of the output shaft. When the shaft rotates, the oil catches in the groove and is drawn unto the overdrive box.

    Looks something like this.



    The Roverdrive system looks like this.

    I emailed the local Roverdrive distributor & got this very prompt reply..

    Thanks Dave
    Yes I am talking to roverdrive regarding the possibility of one for the four speed and we are looking at this very seriously but no price idea at the moment will keep you in formed.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Looking promising !!

    Just checking the basis of this contact.

    You just contacted a local Roverdrive agent to confirm that my contact with the manufacturer in Canada was in fact accurate.

    Yes, I wanted to hear it from the local distributor, having worked for various manufacturers I have encountered sensitivities regarding product availability, Personally my thoughts are manufacturers will speel to the public but are more cautious with thier distributors. I wouldn't expect a responsible manufacturer to backdoor a dealer either, so I don't expect to be able to deal direct.
    Cheers,
    David
