Makes sense - the LT85 was a V8 box with a different bellhousing and T-case gears.

AFAIK all 2.25 and 2.5 engines (and boxes) have one size, all V8 (and isuzu) have the smaller size.

I've been looking at a box from a Td5 defender.. anyone know what the spigot is in them? IIRC this is a 22mm........... <insert incisor safe expression of discontent here>

sorry guys i should have just asked the right question in the right forum

I just went and measured a Tdi R380 at 22 mm
and v8 LT95 at 19 mm (or possibly 0.75")
