Rear diff (1996 Defender 90 300Tdi)-advice please. Sorted
Cassillis:
Noticed over the last few months there has been a whine from the rear diff, whine stops when coasting or not putting any load on the diff. Even more recently i have been experiencing a rotational knocking noise that is more pronounced on left hand turn, exiting the motorway made a hell of a racket.
It sounds like something is catching a wheel as it rotates it increases and decreases with speed of the vehicle. Nothing has been found from a thorough exterior inspection. Which leaves me to believe i may have a problem within the diff
What i don't want is to be without the car. It would be my intention to have a unit to hand to fit it if needed. So, how do i ascertain which diff i have?
I think someone on here mentioned an engineering place near Luton that do replacement units, anyone got any details?

first look and see what way u can unbolt it do the bolts holding diff in place face forward of landy or is ther a plate on back that you unbolt. next take a half shaft out and count splines. if ten splines on bit that goes into diff i have a diff

This is where i begin to regret taking the mickey out of you earlier isn't it :roll:
I know the bolts face the front of the truck will need to check the splines after crimbo
Cheers :D

before taking it pieces, try dropping the oil out
that will give you a good inside as of the condition inside
if you aint sure what the colour inside means were all here to help :wink:
might be running in water instead of oil :roll: :oops:
