Interesting..no wounder they have a life span of a million kays:D

Is the 4 speed lower geared than the 5 speed?

The box itself in 4th is 1:1, it's in the transfer case where it is lower geared. There are a lot of different ratios available, but not sure what the Perentie had in it.

Most have .996:1, the RFSVs are lower (same as early range rover).

does that apply to all the Land Rover Perentie 4x4's?:confused:

there is a guide on buying the ex army 110's done by a guy on here.

Find it here

yes it is $47.50 but i'm led to believe it gives you all the information you need to know to make sure you get a good one and not a dud. I can only speculate as I haven't bought a copy myself, I don't think my circumstances will allow me to have one :(, but if those circumstances change I will be buying one of these guides before I bid on anything as you can't test drive the one at the actions, in fact you can't even start them in some cases.

That is if you plan on buying one from the auctions. You will get a much better deal at the actions anyway.

cheers
