Yep, initially very confusing. Though both posts were extremely well written and very easy to understand. Thank you.
I would appreciate knowing what is up there. From which angles would you be able to tell if I had the 110 cv?
I don't intend on going through rock gardens with the thing, but I have a tendency to get myself into trouble. Would you recommend upgrading either way?

Probably best to measure how far the flange protrudes from the mounting face on the hub, then someone can measure their known type.
In the post from yt10 he said 62mm, but I'm not sure if that includes the screw-on cap (I suspect not).
No good me checking as I'm divesting my rover drive lines and no longer have any maxi flanges to measure.... if 110 cv's had been fitted then the flanges would be
MDE OH62 (62mm overall height) ...

I run a MD drive flange on the front of my 1998 300tdi defender 110. I run RRC cv's (606665), but with a custom stub shaft, that im 95% sure makes them the same length as the early Land Rover 110 cvs (AEU2522).
Drive flange is 68mm long from mounting face on the hub, including the end cap. Ie completely installed and driveable.
It was common for people to replace just drive flanges on these vehicles for a number of reasons, which include: OEM axle shaft and drive flange material, spline length of both, grease lubricated not oil, lack of maintainence. These things lead to wear between the 2 and increased driveline "backlash". So it would not be uncommon to find a stock front or rear end with just upgraded drive flanges. Your front could be a Maxidrive flange or just a copy. If you give it a good clean and find any markings like the rear, post up the numbers/letters.

Thanks for all the reply. Learning curve seems to be rather steep.
Rear has MDE 859 stamped on it.
Front has no marks. Will measure it once the rain lets up.

all good mate. One thing to point out is that your axles are the shorter spline on the drive flange end. All this means is at some point (after yours) Maxidrive decided to make the spline length longer. This meant a longer axle and longer driveflange. I am not 100% sure, But I think they were getting reports of spline wear. Now this may have been more to do with the fact that the wheel bearings were not oil feed anymore but grease packed, and that some people didnt keep the splines lubed. An easy way to sort this is to run your wheel bearings in oil, and IMO is a very good practice. Maxidrive use to do this and recommend it.
Basicly you pull the oil seal that runs on the axle shaft and just use the one that presses into the back of the hub and seals on the stub axle (spindle). This way the oil runs from the diff right through, into the splins and wheel bearings.
