k.That was an interesting read. You're absolutely right, my apologies. I thought the early Range Rover (mine was an A suffix chassis 1972) was more closely related to the Land Rover as it was called than it was. My impression was the chassis and drive train were pretty much identical.
One I looked at in a dealers in 1981 when I bought had wide wheels and the dealer told me if he put it in 4WD it broke a half shaft. It turned out I knew more about them than he did. But not Series Land Rovers, it would appear.
Paper bag twice in one day!

Did any of that make sense? The dealer thought he was putting it into 4WD when in fact he was locking the centre diff of a permanent 4WD. Graunch Grind Kerpow ££££.
Same kind of thing could happen to mine if I left it in 4WD all the time on tarmac... off road the lower traction allows the wheels to slip and release the tension built up by the lack of a differential in the gearbox and differing prop-shaft lengths front/back.
"transmission wind up" I call it... not sure of the technical name for it
Well today's wedding was lovely. And so was the Rolls-Royce Corniche one of the guests rocked up in. He was telling me he'd recently done a trip to the south of France in it and was "pleasantly surprised" to have got 14mpg average on the trip.
Dark green with tan and in very good order. Looking to sell it though as it doesn't get enough use.
