LR Defender110 Specs Help!

Hi,
I'm building a spread sheet for comparison of three comparable expedition vehicles. This will be an honest assessment of numbers only with (hopefully) no bias either way. The three cars I am comparing are the LR Defender 110, the Jeep JKUR and the Landcruiser series 70 GXL wagon. I have most of the specs, but I'm looking for a few and thought you all might help. The Defender I chose is the 2013 UK spec 2.2L diesel 110. The specs I'm looking for are available axle ratios (factory), transfer case ratios and cargo capacity behind the rear seats. The only other things that I don't have nailed down are the external measurements. I have them for a 2008, but I can't verify the accuracy, because I'm not sure what they've changed. Please include a link if possible to where you found the specs. I'd like the list to be as accurate as possible! Obviously, numbers aren't the best comparison, but I can't test drive all three like Scott Brady and I need to satisfy my OCD! This may all seem pointless to some of you, but people like me (if there are any others) may see the value in it. I couldn't find anything on line and my goog-foo is pretty good, so I'll post the spread sheet when it's finished. THX!
 
Info from Landrover South Africa

Confused as your looking for specs on a 2013 but obviously you can't own that here? If your looking for specs on an NAS or older one that shouldn't be a problem. And if you really want 2013 specs try a uk LR forum

The external dimensions of a 110 haven't changed since they were first introduced in 1983. The new PUMA's using the Ford Transit powertrain have 1.2 ratio LT230's, and having driven that powertrain in Africa, it is SWEEET! (sorry for unwanted bias)

the defender only comes with one axle ratio , and t/c ratio from the factory , anything else is aftermarket , and down to what you want to do with it . Re capacity as previous post been the same for years . same as load pretty well. Does the JKUR come with a diesel ?

And you don't know what those ratios are, do you? The JKUR does not come with a diesel at this time. I'd love to have one, but the closest thing is the export 2.8 in any trim but Rubicon. I'd love to have a Defender 110 or Series 70 for that matter, but due to our crazy regulations we can't get anything cool here.

pre-PUMA 110s were 1.4 tcases. 90's were 1.2. 1.2 is new for 110's

Forgive my ignorance, I don't speak fluent Land Rover yet, what is PUMA? Also, is 1.2 the model or the T-case ratio? I sure hope it's not the ratio, cause that's not really low and the Land Rover stacks up to the others pretty favorably at this point.

In 2007, the Land Rover line of diesels was replaced by a Ford diesel engine. The defenders built since 2007 are known as Pumas.

Defenders come with a 3.54 axle gear ratio. No other option on that.

Also to learn more, I highly recommend this website. It will give you a very good general understanding of all of the information and specs on defenders.

Haha. I was just about to say the same.

Google should be able to help you out a TON, too. For instance, Googling PUMA and Defender would get you a ton of info on anything you're confused about.

Over time, the LT230 t-case came in several different 1.2 ratios, a 1.4 and more rarely a 1.6 high range. They all have the same low range of 3.321.

Here's a good reference link. http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=45

Regarding the Transfer case, the rations listed above are the high ratio, which would vary slighty based one engine etc, but all have a low range ratio of 3.32:1. Impressive for a stock vehicle.


Edit: Sorry, Mark, didn't see this post hiding here on page 2.

Well I did google defender and looked for quite a few hours. I didn't know to look for Puma. I have a few more squares filled in now thanks to you all.
