will a defender rear diff fit a range rover and are they any stronger than a range rover one. do they run the same ratio. I have blown 2 diffs up in a week.

Yes they fit,yes they are stronger and yes they are the same ratio

how much would i be looking at for one

Not 100% sure but i did here around the 800-1000 for disk to disk
Heaps stronger but u will lose some clearance
I've run mine locked and on simex's and now swampers and never had any dramas...

It is only stronger if it is a Salisbury diff. They should be a 3.54:1 ratio, same as RR. If it is the later Defender diff, then it is the same as a P38.

If you are talking about a defender rear diff then no i won't fit in a Range Axle, but you could put the whole 110 Axle on and that would be stronger. They are the same ratio.

The front Diff out of 110 will fit straight into a rangie (depending on age) diff will fit just what spline the Half shafts are,might mean you will have to change them if not the same. The change from 10 spline to 24 spline.
But they are the same diff.
I have a 300 Tdi 90 and they have the same front axel as a rangie and 110 but the rear axle is the same as the rangie and disco rear (no room on the back of the 90 for a salisbury rear)

When we say diff, we mean the whole axle assembly, so it will fit.
2002 up defenders use the p38 diff hich you dont want unless its cheap.
Early ones will be drum brakes so get a later disc one.

The main differance between the salisbury and the axel you have on the Rangie is the lenght of the diffs nose. The nose on the slaibury is bigger, so your prop will need mods. This is the reason why 90's don't have salisburys on the rear.

Sals is 2 inches longer in the pinion.

Shorten you RR shaft by 2 inches and bolt away.

As has been said, you'll lose clearance with a Salisbury, they're also a lot heavier and its all unsprung weight. But a LOT stronger.

Ah not if you adjust them like my mate in the Uk did

or you can do this without getting too radical

3/4" off the bottom puts it within 5mm of a Rover housing, and the modified Rockcrusher D60 nodular iron cover adds strength and doesn't leak at all, unlike my modded Sals cover did.
