IF your Range Rover has 1.11" 10 spline axles, then you can simply drop in the series 3rd member that should have a 4.7 R&P ratio. IF you have 1.25" 24 spline axles, then you need to produce, from your original 3.54 and from the series 4.7, one 3rd member that has the 24 spline side gears and the desired ratio. The Salisbury is a different ball-game, so I won't mention that at all so as not to confuse netierh you nor me.   Micky_dee (Micky_dee) New Member Username: Micky_dee Post Number: 21 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Monday, November 17, 2003 - 05:12 am:    looks like i am in luck then. i have a tonne of series diffs and want to change the gearing on the classic, which has 10 spline half shafts. so this will save me some coin. cool!   Nadim Samara (Discodino) Member Username: Discodino Post Number: 143 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, November 17, 2003 - 09:32 am:    Yeah, but 10 spline axles are NOT up to ANY serious Offroading, assuming you do so, since the 4.7s are ideal for 34+" tires...HIGHLY suggest at LEAST rear axle upgrade!
