 :lol: Yes, indeed!

But as I said, even with quite significant wear, it's unlikely to go bang. The things are so over engineered. Last night, I pulled the transfer box off the gearbox. The splines on both the gearbox output shaft and the input gear in the transfer box were almost worn right through! Both sets of splines had only about 1mm left! And it was still driving.

over engineered in that crappy brittish way though. "well its gonna wear away so we had better put plenty of meat on to make it last"

where the germans and japanese are going... "hmmm, why does it wear?, can we reduce wear? i wonder what would happen if we tried this..."

etc etc!

bombx3:
i run 38" tyres and have 4pin diffs i get the same problem as you discribed and its the diff ,the splines on the flange costs about forty pounds if i remember rightly easy job to do thou,do the oil seal as well . :hurry up:did have a similar problem once before many moons ago took the diff out and it fell apart :lol:i had been driving with it like that for 6 hard months
