Outer Limits 4x4 Board

found a big red sticker under my new xtra cab ( on the transfer case i think ) that says ... 1.140 ratio 4WD...

is this standard??

is there any where that i can search my vin number to see what it was or had fitted when it left the factory??

Drew

thats the highrange ratio of you tcase i beleive.

there is 1.222 aswell as 1.6

Anthony, I think the 1.6 you refer to is actually 1.4.

yeah sorry 1.6 is a custom gear set

so this is just the normal high range ratio ?

Yes it is in a Defender version of the LT230 transfer.

so this is just the normal high range ratio ?

If its a TD5 defender, it should be 1.41...... But not sure on what it should be if its a Tdi.

I think that the 1.41 was in all Defenders including the Tdi (which would mean that the one 110 Tuff has is not original )

defender 110 v8 petrol and tdi = 1.411-1 high range
defender 110 4cyl petrol and n/a diesel = 1.667-1 high range

1.22-1 was avalible from 1986 on v8 models but must have been replaced with the 1.411-1 at some stage

cheers, serg

Sorry to be pedantic Serg, but anything made before 1990 isn't a defender. All Defenders in OZ had Tdi or TD5 engines and 1.411:1 High range (possibly apart from some special models).

yeah fellas this is on my new td5 extra cab 130, not for my 110 but it looks like there both got the same possibly

thanks for the info
Drew

ahh read that to fast so 1.4 is what should be in the td5 and i have 1.14 so it is a custom gear set ? would it be a factory gear set?

and this means that its higher then standard ..... and not as good off road??

what is the advantages of having the 1.14 over 1.411????
Drew

That is just your high range ratio, it won't affect driving in low range. All LT-230's have the same low range ratio.

Do you notice that it struggles to hold 5th on road?

hey ben mine is a 1986 and is a 'defender'


...but yes it is a import

Are you sure you didn't misread it? Because I don't recollect tdi defenders/discoveries having stickers on the T.case with the ratio - I know TD5 defenders definitely have the big red sticker with 1.411 on it, and Series 2s have 1.2xx...... So if it were a transplant, I wouldn't have imagined there to be a sticker on it, for that ratio... Could be wrong though, have been quite often.

As far as 1.14 vs 1.411 goes, 1.14 will have a bit less acceleration in high range, but a higher theoretical top speed (which is irrelevant when you're driving something thats less aerodynamic than a house brick!), while 1.411 would obviously give a little quicker acceleration, with slightly lower top speed. the 1.411 will also mean a few more RPM at any given speed over the 1.14.

Actually it isn't Sam. The model names were originally simply "one-ten" and "ninety" (and of course "one-ten county" and "ninety county" - which was just a higher spec model - carpets, etc.) until 1990 when the Tdi engine was released. Only then was the name "Defender" used.

So technically you have a "ninety" - but you can call it whatever you want.

yes ben you are correct... good to get the terminology right.

Drew, if it is 1.14 i would say change it out when you can or fit different r+p's.... why??? well i have a d110 trayback and tow every day, even with the 3 inch exhaust and fuel upped i find high range a little to high for every day use... i'm going to fir 4.11's to cure this. i know where you can get a 1.66-1 gear set(high range)

cheers, serg

It should read 1.410:1, are you certain it is a 1.14???

Serge is right also with the 1.6:1 case in the 4 cyl 110 and 90, only in europe etc, not here. It would be a good gear ratio for the 35" tyre mob and a MD crawler low range!!!

JC

ok, now i feel stupid , there was a drop of oil which was hard to see that makes the " 4" look like a "1" so its 1.410........

sorry guys, hey thanks guy anyway, least i now i know what a defender should and shouldnt have..



now i will just go and shoot myself

hehe,
that's funny
