diff adjustment

[muddysteve]

hi all, being a relative newbie to this landrover thing i'm wondering if there is anyway to tighten the slack out of the diffs on my disco??

done it a few times on the suzuki and i was just wondering if its the same? ie tighen up the nut on the input shaft and line the big cog inside up useing the disc things on either side of the diff? never been inside a landy diff so i have no idea what it looks like in there.

cheers

wouldnt mind knowing too  

my front diff is a little sloppy

I suspect that it could be a little challenging however - Tim (muddyweb) will probably be able to advise

It's not a terrible job...   it's one of the procedures I was intending to photograph for the new workshop section... since one of mine needs adjustment.

If you can wait for a few days, I'll try and get it done

What can I say?
I'll be looking forward to that one.
Thanks Tim.

sounds great tim i'm sure it cant be too tricky although the haynes book of lies just says "dont do it"

i've done a suzuki sj diff so it can't be too much more involved than that (i hope)

Hope it's not as scary as the old Ford English axle, the section on rebuilding the diff for that one is longer than the whole section for the engine (in the Ford workshop manual) and the list of special tools is a couple of pages!
