    Diff Ratios

    Hello All,

    I have a 2000 Defender Wagon running 35" tyres as such it has affected my fuel economy and speedo, more importantly it has affected my down hill descent when in low range.

    Does any one know what the standard Diff Ratios are and what ratio would i be looking for to put the gearing back to normal and where i would get a new set of diff gears.
    I currently have the Salusbry diff's in the vehicle.

    Cheers

    3.54 is standard.

    It's probably worth contacting Tusker on here.

    He has just gone through all of this and now runs 4.11 with his 35's, and also 1.2 high and 49% lows in the transfer. His came with the P38 diffs and is now running a rear Salisbury with Dana 4.11's on Maxidrive lockers and 4.11's in the front to Maxi also.
    Cheers

    LRA bring in 4.11s from the UK or you could order them from Ashcrofts yourself.

    Without highly modifying your TC with crawl gearing from the states your best bet would be to fit the 4.11s.

    About $600 per end I think is the cost, a mate of mine has just done it to his Disco.

    IIRC though, the problem at the moment is getting Salisbury 4.11's, which is why Tusker ended up converting to Dana.

    Have 4.11 CWP's ever been available for the Salisbury ?

    I always thought you needed to use the Dana 60 CWP ? (and the requisite mods, IIRC 1/2" UNF bolts instead of 12mm, different pinion bearing and new (Jeep? ) pinion flange. )

    I couldn't see any reference to a Salisbury 4.11 on any of the websites. Rover 4.11's are around, P38's are harder especially since the Israeli army bought them all, and the Salisbury.... well, there is Dana 60. I think Tusker said a Ford 9" flange, but may be wrong, it looked like a capped design to me which is very Dana, but he will comment on it.
    Cheers
