40th anniversery 80 series centre diff

I knew some one would beat me to answer that, i will have to pick up on my typing speed.

Rob,

Pretty rare thing that I can answer anyone's question. Extra incentive to type faster.

Nice looking vehicle. What does the Rugby World Cup Upgrade give you? I haven't seen them before. Does it sidestep quickly or (if the Australian version) does it come with a larger choke?

Cheers,

Matt.

Matt,
They came out may 95 petrol only, i think they were the first in the series 2
upgrade came with a few more goodies than a std GXL. similar to the earlier Winter upgrade models only good for show

Howard,
Good to hear a series 80 gearbox can go 420k; mine's just coming up to 300k and everything fine except a little chatter from the box. I thought I'd heard that the g'box was the weak link in an '80 series but now I'm encouraged.

I'm expecting to go to 1mill (should I live that long :) )

Doug,
I am aware of a few who have had problems with 80 series gear box ( synco on second, rattly 5th etc.)but in all cases its the 150 box from the naturally aspirated diesel not the 151 box in the petrol and t/d.
The 151 is a heavy duty version.
