Will a 1995 90 disc brake rear axle be a straight swap for a 1986 90 drum brake axle rear axle? Thanks Richard

Yes it will

is the drum brake one shot then? and if not, why?
The diff pan on mine has been patched several times as its very thin (rust) and leaks. Disc brakes = better braking ?

well, fair enough. Not necessarily convinced about discs. If I bother to get the drums (big feckers, mind) on the 110 clean and correctly adjusted, it seems to me that it stops as well as the disco which has discs all round.
Drum brakes are a complete PITA if you go in much mud. They fill up and the mud just grinds down the shoes. In my 110 which I've had 2.5 years now I've replaced the front pads once (only a few months ago), and the rear shoes -four- times now. Plus every time you fill them with mud you end up having to clean+adjust them to get your brakes to work properly again.
I'm after a rear Salisbury for the 110 with discs. Shame they're like rocking horse poo, although I'm told there are genuine rover part conversion brackets available, which I should look into.

I totally agree with you about the mud. We use ours off road a lot and have been through a few rear shoes (and also hand brake shoes) but only one set of front pads. Richard
