    To throw another spanner in the works,

    Nissan MQ/MK Diffs are almost bolt in aswell, I dont even think the pads need to be changed!
    A mate of mine had a set in his LR before he coilded it.

    If your going to change the diffs you may as well upgrade. The only pros of the RR conversion is that it has disks and the Rover name - thats all. Same crappy diffs and axles.

    At least with Nissan/Toy your getting Disk front with good rear drums, wider stance, heaps of choice in wheel size and offset then stronger Diffs and CVs ect.

    ?

    Dave.

    Dave.

    Arghhhhh!!! Don't put the hook in me now mate ...

    I've just come off the idea of one kind of conversion but ok ... mang - if the other diffs just bolt under hmmm and you get front disc and rear drums you say too? Ok, ok, ok ... how widely available are the axles your talking about, I pretty much know nothing about them. Also, what changes need to made on a Series to the steering linkage in order to run the Nissan/Toy diffs - I want to avoid any major hassles with all that - another reason I've gone off the RR axles idea.

    Basically, can you spell out exactly what it might take so I can get an idea if it's do-able? By the way, can you run series rims on Nissan/Toy hubs - I'm not a fan of sunraysia's ... or can they be made to run on Nis/Toy hubs?

    Cheers, Simon.

    The Landy rims are not interchangable with Nissan/Toyota rims. The bolt pattern is different. That said, there are heaps of 6 stud rims that will fit the Nissan axle. The OE MK/MQ Patrol steel rims are not that far off a series rim.

    Without looking, the steering will require a link to be made up between the steering relay on the landy and the nissan axle with the correct lengths and ball joints.
    Cheers

    Thanks mate ... yeah so basically it's the same business again as the RR axles ... basically equals more fiddle with the steering linkages - I'm gonna leave all that for now and just chuck 4.1 diffs in and next time I bust a half shaft I'll throw in beefy ones for good measure. My main goal is to just get this sucker back on the road sooner than later ... more fiddle means more delay. I can always retro fit axles later anyway ... luckily they are easy to get to.
