Re: Which Differential - Choosing the Right Differential
I have a standard 1098 so can't speak for your engine. But assuming the principle is the same.... I changed from a 4.55 (thinking it was a 4.22!) to a 3.9 diff. There is a difference at low speeds, a general loss of what one might call 'nippiness' and climbing hills is harder work, but overall perfe...

Re: Here we go again another coil.
Out of interest were you driving at high speeds? I've had 2 coils go because I've driven on motorways and the way it was secured, it must have vibrated or hit a resonance point and caused damage. I've had the current coil on mine attached to a stronger part of the engine bay, rather than on that lit...

Re: 1098 4-speed to 5-speed
Again, all useful thanks.
What's the difference between a 1275 Marina and 1275 Midget engine - in terms of reliability/performance.. or is it so negligible I wouldn't notice?

Re: 1098 4-speed to 5-speed
thanks for all the replies. Though I'm confused by the last couple! So I shouldn't just get a 3.7 diff for my standard 1098?

1098 4-speed to 5-speed
Just wondering what others would do. I've a v nice 1967 with its original 1098 low mileage engine and 4-speed box, albeit with a 3.9 diff. I want a 5-speed, though, because I do a lot of urban motorway driving on my daily commute. I'm not competent enough to do the work myself. Do I: A Spend parts a...

Re: 5-speed gearbox
PS 26 years ago I took my driving test in my parents' Traveller, in which I'd been learning. I rather earnestly warned the examiner, a rather dour and droll fellow, that - should it be necessary - I couldn't easily switch from 2nd to 1st in a hurry. He responded, "ahhh well, its all part of the...

Thanks for the replies, photos and comments. I commute on motorways so I'm certain I'll use 5th. I'm used to having 6!

Re: 5-speed gearbox
thanks for the replies. Helpful.
Is there any way of having the Ford gearbox but retaining the traditional MM gear stick?

5-speed gearbox
If I was to be getting a 5 speed gearbox - for a 1098 engine - what are the pros and cons of a Toyota vs Ford? E.g. quality, reliability, the noise/whine each one makes etc. I'd be paying a professional to do it so I don't need fitting advice but if one of them is easier to fit than the other, might...

Re: Cruising speed advice.
I have 1098 Traveller with 3.9 diff - I didn't go for 3.7 because of costs mentioned above. I do a lot of motorway and tend to vary my speed every now and then. It has different sweet spots to my ears, at approx 50, 60 and a tad under 70. The 3.9 diff (compared to 4.2 or 4.5) particularly makes 50-5...

Re: Traveller Cover
I've had a Stormforce cover for nearly two years now and it's been fine. Try not to leave it sitting under hot sun after heavy rain though, as mine (through my own fault) caused a couple of small blotches on the roof paintwork when the midday sun shone through and heated up some water sitting betwee...

Welcome aboard from another Rose Taupe Traveller owner - and customer of where you're getting yours done.
