Whilst playing at the Christmas do at Fellbeck my transfer box gave up. I ended up on the back of an RAC wagon to get home. OK so far, no probs.
My local LR garage have removed the transfer box and confirmed that there are lots of metal bits lying in the bottom where they shouldn't be, so i need another transfer box. This is where it gets interesting, and where my knowledge is totally lacking. The engine is a 3.9 v8 with auto box. The transfer box has the numbers 29D stamped on that indicate it is a 1:1.19
I have contacted several people to try and source one and my garage suggest that I should be trying to replace like with like. But another garage has suggested that the 29D is the wrong ratio for the 3.9 and that a 1.4 would be better as it would give a higher top end. I have been told that in low box they are all the same anyway, so its really its on road performance that will be affected. Anybody got any thoughts? Replace like with like or change to a 1.4.
Help!!
