Thanks for the reply's fellas, i managed to get a second hand oil pump from Venom (toyota wanted $635 for a new one) I dont have any photos of the crack in the old pump but i found out it was caused by me not putting a washer behind the idler. The crack was through the main oil gallery of the...

But remember to have a think about the length of your driveline if you decide to go the divorced transfer, you will need a custom transfercase crossmember and you would need to make a gearbox crossmember aswell, and modified driveshafts.

The MK or MQ had front and rear offset diff pinions, the same as landrover 110's so you can still use your landy diffs with a patrol divorced transfer. It was only the GQ and GU patrols which had the centre rear diff pinion.

If you have trouble mating the LT230 there are other options, if you're using the 110 landy diffs, they should be offset pinions front and rear, you can make a small jackshaft off the lexus auto and use a divorced transfer off a Patrol MQ or MK (foget which model had the divorced set-up)
