Can't help you with your questions sorry, but Discos are appearing in self serve wrecking yards down here, and transfercases sell for a couple of hundred dollars.
Wagoo.

interested in feedback too. they seem to be reliable from what ive read and not having probs of the GKN model. my feel is in my case disco tf would be too high first gear with a good load on. but thats stock td5 110.

did you get any price in aus?
brett.

I recently got a quote of a little over 3k from British Offroad who are the Austrlain distributor, sounds like a good unit but my GKN is doing a good job at the moment.

Have been making inquiries about a Roverdrive for a TD5 as well, including with suppliers in the UK unfortuantely they appear reluctant to send one to Aus as there is a local supplier. From the information I have been given it would be about $500 cheaper to ship one in after paying customs their share.

Hi Exspedition 130 if you get any more info on that wil you keep us all in the loop please. they look fairly easy to fit.

I don't know why you would be buying a Canadian made Roverdrive from a supplier in the UK.

Go direct to Roverdrive Gear Corporation - Home they were having trouble with their Au agent and would supply direct. Ray Wood is good to deal with and even has an ex-Aussie Isuzu County. They were concerned that the Aussie retail price had not dropped against the rise in the Aussie$ when the effective wholesale price to them had dropped significantly.

One thing I will say is that the ratio change in the Roverdrive on an LT230 is almost identical to the difference between 4th and 5th, so while you get an overdrive (6th) gear 4th overdrive is almost the same as 5th. No gear splitting.

Have you had any luck finding a gear maker to modify your overdrive output gear Diana?
Wagoo.

Am taking the Roverdrive and a spare gearbox down to the engineer in the Riverina on the weekend our club does the armour display at the Kapooka open day.
