Thread: Lower gearing in 130?

Can anybody enlighten me?

I cannot, but I'd be surprised if they were different.

I wouldn't think so, but if you climb under and have a look below the fill plug it should have the info on a sticker ( 1.211:1 ) is what I'd expect

No not different, all defenders have a 1.4/1 transfer case. I believe 90's may have a 1.22/1 .

Not all Defenders, TDCI have ( as previously mentioned ) a 1.211:1 fine gear, not the 1.222:1 which was early TDI and V8 Discovery.
1.4 is most defenders pre and including TD5

1.222:1 and 1.4:1 both have coarse gears and are interchangeable

The only 90 I can think of with a 1.2 ratio was the V8 50th anniversary auto and that was 1.211:1
