    My understanding was that they were only 1/2 a car and that 1/2 was the engine and the boot, huge, designed to carry a 44 of fuel :? :?

    I've never seen P38 on the RR label.

    There must be some differences between the first and second generations... differentials even? :wink:

    AFAIK, the diffs were different. The normal full floater setup that LR have traditionally used was dropped for a semi floater, and this is also seen in the D2. Therefore no more sexy Maxi hubs for these babies. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] The diff itself I think also has a different flange and as far as I know the Crownwheels are not compatible with the rover diff, though I may be corrected here. ARB have different part numbers for their lockers for this reason. The 4.0l V8 was given a 2 planetary gear diff, and the 4.6V8 was given the 4 planetary gear diff for some extra strength over the usual breaker units. The 4 planetary I think also goes into the rear of the current defender in place of the Salisbury.
