Thread: 92 Classic Steering box

Damn ... just realised what is going on. The gearboxes will be the same, the '88 has an alloy mount I need from the wreck though..... Damn, I should have noticed that before the selectors were posted to me. Just as well I'm never in a hurry with any of this stuff!

Is not, the shifter off the LT230 bolted straight up to my mate's '94 LSE, there's a pad with 4 bolt holes under both shifter mechs. Your gearbox is identical to the one in the V8 Disco of the era.

Edit, aah, you noticed.

I always tried to sell the linkage complete when I was wrecking Rovers, I remember the hassles I had getting one years ago when I bought a LT230 to replace my BW transfer. You should be able to chase one up (I would give you one if I had one but I don't have any left ).

Yeah the guy that sold me the LT230 says he has linkages there. I don't want to bother him though as he's going through some problems of his own at the moment. It's no big deal. I'm so slack it's still sitting there with the front end in bits and the transfer box on the ground beside it. If it wasn't so bloody hot I'd already have it back together!

The guy that posted me over the linkages just wasn't aware of what I needed. Hopefully he'll post over the alloy bracket after christmas and the bracket from the top of the diff lock. I have all the linkages, but nothing there to attach the diff lock to the LT230 with (if that makes sense).

This is what I received with the linkages... .Given even 9:30 at night, it's still over 30degrees in the shed... I thought I'd try to acheive at least something for the weekend. From my perspective this is the most important part of putting the LT230 in. It MUST be "wife presentable". If I make it look ****ty and dodgy I'll never hear the end of it, as obviously everything will obviously be done badly "why don't you take it somewhere and get someone that knows what there doing to work on it like everyone else does" .................. Grrrrr...



One already battered and repaired numerous times center console.









Yeah that's going to look pretty ****house and dodgy as the corners will have huge gaps around them.

I figured as easier way of doing this would be to just cut the end off ... .it is after all already cracked and buggered.



I just cut the two sides of the bit I didn't need ... to brace it all for gluing.



Yes !!! That should work perfectly... and be nice and strong with the bracing at the back. Have you noticed what I've done yet. Sadly there is no brick wall in the shed for me to slam my head against.



Yes, I mixed up the bloody end peices, I actually chopped up the end bit I needed to use for scrap plastic and was about to glue the bit back on I'd just cut off...... Oh well, if you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at



So I've glued all the mess together with super strength aralide, If it looks ok tomorrow I'll glue and brace the cut up mess to the end of the console.



I reckon the diff lock light can just go here beside the radio (lets see if I can stuff up cutting that hole out too)

So I have decided the best way to fix this car ..... Is to get another Range Rover with a broken borg warner transfer case and broken front diff.... That also doesn't drive.

Does having a matching broken pair of Range Rovers and still none that drive help a person in anyway . Or does it mean your probably insane My wife is most impressed at the idea

Just tell the missus you're thinking of it as a long term investment in saving money on parts you need later on
