TechnoTurkey:
The rear axle on my 90 appears to have significant corrosion around the seam on the back of the axle casing - new axle time?

Wolfie:
Do you mean the Diff Pan? If so they are replaceable, it involves cutting the old one off and welding on a new one. There is an article showing how to do it in the "Spring 2006" issue of LROi.

No idea how difficult it is myself, as I don't do welding.

Wolfie

TechnoTurkey:
The diff pan is ok, it is the horizontal seam each side of the pan in teh middle of the axle that seems to be the problem.

Hairyduck:
you can get a new casing, I've seen them for about £150 + Vat new. Craddocks or paddock I think it was

TechnoTurkey:
Based on that I think I would be better with a second hand axle! :shock:
