Land Rover’s mid-size four wheel drive wagon has been given a performance lift in both the petrol and diesel powered versions, plus new transmissions, upgraded suspension, brakes, safety and security, and discreet exterior styling updates. There are a multitude of vehicles now available in the commonly referred to ‘soft-roader’ class, with no fewer than sixteen competitors and only a handful of manufacturers that do not have an entrant. Dual range transmissions are an obvious omission in most vehicles of this class. There are currently two three door and two five
door models in SE and ES equipment levels with the V6 engine, while the diesel powered variants are available only in five-door and SE trim. The
five-door diesel SE is available with manual transmission, the rest being automatic only. Pricing begins at $38,950 for the base model and peaks at $44,950 for the five door SE V6.
Introduction
The LT230Q transfer box is mounted at the rear of the main gearbox and transmits drive to the front and rear axles via the propeller shafts. The LT230Q, whilst similar to the LT230T differs mainly in the following areas:
Helix angle of gears increased to 31° together with an increase in the number of gear teeth thus giving quieter running and an increase in power
transmission efficiency. Increased length mainshaft input gears together with increased thickness bearing housing and repositioned bearing.
Redesigned intermediate gear bearings. Redesigned high gear bush giving quieter running.
