big bang from my back axle

(1/3) > >>

ian_s:
so there i was today, pulling out of sainsburys car park, when i hear a loud bang and suddenly loose all drive.
dang, i think, there goes another half shaft

so i get back to my work car park after putting it in 4x4, and pull out both shafts, and both are still in one peice, but the oil in the axle is a nasty rust brown colour
the prop shaft still turns, so it appears that my diff has gone the way of the fabled norwegian blue.
oh well

anyone know where i can get a new diff from?
i've posted in the wanted section

Miniman:
Think your self lucky. I have just bought a 109 with a 3.3L perkins engine in I think I will be needing new diffs and halfshafts more than I need fuel...

ian_s:
if you remember, i had a thread a while back about
noises coming from my back axle

Miniman:
Oh dear well at least you know what it is now......

Its all in the fun of owning a series landy...

I was on a 4x4 day and went for a big hill, Just as I was about to get my front wheels to the top of the hill it stalled.....and stuck.
That was it no gears no movment at all. Could not even free wheel back down the hill it was solid. I had to get another 4x4 to tug me forward to get it on top of the hill but then it was fine. So I continued to play 30 mins later it happened again.....That was it for me.....Head went...and the gob...

It turned out to be when I pulled the box in bit that 3rd gear had lost a tooth and it was picking it up and sticking between gears thus locking the box.

ian_s:
i'm wondering if its safe to drive with the rear diff as it is, just using the front axle, or will it lock in the way your gearbox did?
the only way to know is to pull the diff out i suppose
