    85 V8 County Q

    If, and I say IF, I was to be looking at buying an 85 model V8 County station wagon what gearbox would I expect to find behind the motor?

    LT95 or LT85 or LT77???

    Also did all county's have power steering?

    Interior wise did they all have door trims etc?

    Are parts like ARB bullbars, Kaymar spare wheel carriers, sill tanks, maxi drive rear axles etc from a 95 Defender interchangable with an 85 county?

    Did county's have the batteries under the passenger seat?
    Cheers

    Afternoon sir,

    CJ's 84 V8 county came with:

    5 speed box (LT77?)

    Power steering.

    Door trims (and wind up windows :wink: )

    Battery under the seat.

    The rest...I won't venture a guess.

    Think the 5 speed was the Santanna Box behind the V8.

    LT95 is the 4 speed, LT85 is the 5 speed.

    I think the LT85 only came behind the 4BD1.

    I've driven a V8 with the LT85, so not the case.

    I saw in a recent LRO international County special report thingo that after 1985 the V8's came with a LT85 box but wasn't sure if this was the case in Australia.

    I'm thinking of buying an old County to restore and improve a little. (4.6 V8 with EFI and rear discs)
    I want the LT85 box in it.

    I want to swap some of the bits over from the Defender.
    Cheers

    Well the one I looked at the other day would be ok to sacrifice to the gas axe.

    IT WAS TRASHED!

    After reading about LRH's efforts recently I am tempted to go the 100 inch option.
    Cheers
