Still waiting on a response from Randy's to ensure I order all the bits necessary to do the job, dont want to have a missing part that will keep it off the road when the spannering starts.

Just investigating whether I can persuade SWMBO include the True tracs as originally hoped rather than have to do half the job 

Found an Ebay USA seller (see above posts) that does the front true trac for $365 & the back for $450, joint postage $158 so about $975 + Vat & Duty, hhmmmm

Anyone know of cheaper feel free to shout.

Wish me luck

Been teaching oneself what is involved with all this re-gear palaver.

I am not an expert but at least I can decipher some of the earlier posts now

Having just read most of that, I think I've just become an instant expert on setting up diffs.

Stuffs all ordered including true tracs 

Thanks to everyone for the their advise, quite exited now... permission to be be more exited than someone that has a particular reason to be exited

Got to get the speedo reading right now its re-geared to 4.10 running 31" tyres.

Am I looking at the right things here folks ?

One chart seems to suggest 36 tooth, another chart a 37 tooth 

Happy to go in middle just in case it ever goes onto 33's, unlikely though

Don't forget that the speedo is designed to over-read by about 5% rather than be 100% accurate. This is the same on most cars and I have heard that the vehicle's ECU takes this into account.

yes i find most things over read acording to sat nav

[Panic mechanic!]

from what I understand a speedo is allowed to be up to 10% over or under the  speed showing, its why  speed cameras won't trigger til you are above that speed by 10%+ when you drive by them.

Ordered the new speedo gear from Lighthouse. £22 plus the dreaded for the gear & new O ring.

Gone for a 36 tooth gear on their suggestion. Had to do something as it reads about 57 mph when sat  nav says 45 mph 

Not aiming for perfection, just there or there abouts will do
