Thanks Justinc, I've never owned a Rangie before I've only had Series Landys and I know them pretty well. I was worried that I was damaging it by driving it in diff lock but I'm only driving on dirt at the moment.

Thanks for that - I'm just about to put together a new system and was wondering the same thing. Mind you, if the light is working then that may help!

I'd be careful . it can be locked and the light not be on if there is a break anywhere like the switch or globe. you can test the switch easily - it is behind the little circular plate on the floor slightly below and in front of the handbrake. 4 screws.

Well I know the light doesn't work but that doesn't matter I now know which way is engaged. Another quick question, can I put a Rover Drive on my Rangie from a IIA, I know where I can get one and I was just wondering if it'll work. As far as cruising a 110Km, what does the Rangie sit on in the rev range. I was thinking a 5 speed would be good for fuel economy but if the overdrive works that would be a bit cheaper and easier.

Range rover and economy aren't usually words that go together.

The 5 speed is fine and you won't need an overdrive - it won't fit anyway, the series box is different. It will cruise at 110 all day
as it is.

Thanks for that, at the moment it's a 4 speed and I don't an lt77 because they're a bit weaker apparently but I am thinking of the R380 but they're a bit expensive. I may stick with the 4 speed for now.

LT 95 is a real trans.

Namby Pamby soft shifting R380's are for wimps....




(Now I will run and hide.....)
