Front diff interchangeable RRS &D3/4 ?

[theelms66]

Question. ? 2007 RRS tdv6 ratio 3.54:1 . Are they interchangeable with the D3/4 around that era given ratios are same .chasing one for the sport as the stooge before had different profile tyres on front .now my oil container looks like a snow dome .

Different diameter tyres on the front vs the rear won't harm the front diff, I'd be more worried about your centre diff , or viscous coupling or whatever these things run .

Sorry. Should have explained myself a little clearer 3 same one odd tyre front left .Definitely front diff done all the work .

Part number TAG500140 appears to be the front diff complete for the 2.7 TDV6 D3 & 2.7 RRS and the 3.0 TDV6 D4 so likely also for the 3.0 TDV6 RRS and the 2.7 D4.

They should be interchangeable. Check the part numbers to confirm.

The D3/RRS range have different diffs depending on engine fitted (and gearbox) but but a diff out of a D3 will fit a RRS if the same engine and auto is fitted to both vehicles.

The front differential is available in three ratios. V8 and V6 petrol engine vehicles use a front differential with a final drive
ratio of 3.73:1 and TdV6 diesel engine vehicles use a final drive ratio of 3.07:1 for vehicles with manual transmission, and
3.54:1 for vehicles with automatic transmission.

Technical Specs

So a 3.54:1 diff will be interchangeable between TDV6 Sports and D3.

I've just fitted a TAG500140 3.54:1 front diff to my L320 (RRS) TDV8. Interchangeable as long as you get the correct ratio, as others have stated. The L319 TDV6s run this same diff.

Surely this was drift work and it only went around to the left ?
