Hi all (especially harvey )
As i've just posted in another thread, i'm a little worried by PAE's BW35 behaviour so the time could be coming quicker than i anticipated that i have to do something about it.
Given this I'd like to have a bit of a compare and contrast between these 2 (and any other i've not thought of) replacement options.
BW35 - reliable? standard fitment, would probably be able to get something that is fully recon'd.
ZF - Better ratios, lock up (so better mpg)
I have the BMW version of the ZF with the tailshaft.
Read about some reliability issues.
fitting not straighforward.
couldnt afford to recon, so would be dependent on getting a good discovery/range rover front end and torque converter.
Does it take the standard prop?
What thoughts do other people have on this? Just want to consider all options before i do anything on this front!
Thanks a lot!
Rich.
