Best way to tell is that all Hi-Lines in Aus all had the LT230 transfer, Vogues IICR were all BW Viscous coupling Transfer cases.

Must be market specific.
In NZ they were Vogues from about 85. My 85 is a Vogue but it was an import from the middle east.
We didn't get the Hiline model or the sherwood model. But they did change from LT230 to BW after 88.

There are two door seatbelt equipped seats with armrests, the CSK should have them and I'm assured 2 doors were available right through till the end of the classic line (even though very few were sold).
The UK aftermarket will have the seats you want.

I've not rad all this thread yet, but if you are even slightlytall you are better off saving your money. I reckon those armrests (as fitted to my 94 Classic) are rubbish. As you adjust them up and down they actually change angle - really uncomfortable. As a result I don;t use them.


(No you can't have my seats!)

I've owned 4 Rangies with armrests and find them comfortable. Maybe you should stop driving that bloody Defender with crapola seats, but I am a short **** (5'9" is short by todays standards it is), also the Rahgie wasn't meant for lanky buggers like you

Yeah Rangies are built for Queens

Not that there's anything wrong with that !

Just having a go Trav !

I use mine all the time and I am well over 6 feet tall. Very comfortable.
