Yep, happy to upgrade to suffix L as I believe it has a stronger main shaft? Not sure i need the rear HD support bearing or the 5th gear ratio upgrade. As I say it's not tuned in any way and I don't tow, happy to consider it though.
The question would be, do I need the suffix L box and the HD support bearing....not sure? Don't have any knowledge of this stuff? 2007 Defender Puma Tonga Green 2015 Range Rover Sport Autobiography Corrie Grey 1968 Series 2a Bronze Green 1995 Defender 90 Coniston Green 2005 Discovery 3 Zambezi Silver |

I think my g/box failure was caused by the 5th gear bearing, so when I did mine, I opted for the bearing upgrade. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Having spoken to Dave today I'll be going for like for like gearbox Suffix J and input gear/bearings. No requirement for upgraded HD bearing based on what I use it for.
Starting the strip out this weekend. Issue with 5th gear but new one should be good for 80/90k miles so good for me. Thanks also to Dave for your advice. 2007 Defender Puma Tonga Green 2015 Range Rover Sport Autobiography Corrie Grey 1968 Series 2a Bronze Green 1995 Defender 90 Coniston Green 2005 Discovery 3 Zambezi Silver |

5th gear bearing Dave not the gearbox itself. Not sure when mine actually failed but the Defender had 102k on it when I bought it so sounds about right.
Only time will tell but I'm only covering upto 3k a year on mine so should last a while. 2007 Defender Puma Tonga Green 2015 Range Rover Sport Autobiography Corrie Grey 1968 Series 2a Bronze Green 1995 Defender 90 Coniston Green 2005 Discovery 3 Zambezi Silver |
