Personally I'd go for an Ashcroft box in preference to a Landrover one.

For one thing the LR one is likely to be reconditioned even if they don't tell you, for another the Ashcroft one is likely to be much cheaper and better value, and thirdly the Ashcroft box will come from a firm that cares about its products and customers and provides first-rate after-sales service. I'm not sure that the same can be said for Landrover any more.

Each to their own. I’ve got a different view, and experience of Ashcrofts.

Aschroft and the price difference invest in torque biasing center diff. "Drobek" = The Small One - Discovery 2, "Blufínek" = The Blue Thing - Defender 130, and for me at least Ford Mondeo Smile

yep they do. unfortunately they're also the reason for me looking for a new box.
not saying they don't do some great products but it didn't work out for me.

hopefully Ashcrofts will.

without going into detail my box went in for a rebuild with ATB and I ended up with a different box - my casing got trashed and I now have a td5 casing. I was of the understanding it was another puma casing but unfortunately not - at the time I was non the wiser.

From a practical perspective, is there any difference between a TD5 case and a Puma one? Darren

very little I believe. one item being the drain plug. one uses a plug with 1/2" drive (I believe) the other uses what I'd describe as a bolt / washer. in other words no (from a practical perspective)
