Roych aint the lane it used to be thats for sure :(
It's holding up very well, no sign off deterioration yet :(

Had an epic up there 3 weeks ago in the snowdrifts - foolishly decided to do it and spent a few hours going a 100 feet through 6 foot snow drifts.  Lots of digging, winching, and setting up ground anchors (which weren't holding for more than 10 ft)
Still it was good fun and we did it :lol:

:evil: Hi all, ive just spent most of the day and DPGs welding skills, fixing the rear diff and diff pan on the Rangie. Everything went to plan the Pan was welded up after removeing the bust diff ( o.h and it was well mashed ) couldnt be bothered getting a new one and DPG said it would not be a problem to weld from the inside as it was good clean metal ( quality of the metal was a bit naff typical Range Rover B/L metal ) :evil:
After DPG had welded up the pan i finnished it of on the outside with plenty of sealant over the welded bits, which has done the trick no leaks. The i put the rear prop back on, then put the rear halfshafts back in put fresh diff oil in and took it for a test drive up and down the yard at DPGs garrage. :D  :D  The replacement diff came from what we think is an early Disco Front Unit, we noticed there was hardly any ware and tare on the Crown or the Pinion and so whilst test driveing it there is no backlash in the rear what so ever  :D BRILLIANT  :D  So heres a tip for you, if you need to replace either diff in your Classic Rangie or Early Disco use a Disco front diff as they seem to be a lot better for ware and tare etc, proberbly due because the Front diffs are not under as much pressure as the rears... :wink:
Anyway i gave it a wash fitted new C.B but as me and DPG were about to leave we noticed the front radious arm bushes have gone  :evil:  I only fitted new ones 6 months ago.  :evil:  Must have done it on Chapel Gate on Sunday, cheap and nasty spurious ones, :(  didnt last long.
 :roll: So my job for tomorrow is to get a set of new ones and fit them, and theres me looking forward to an easy day.... :lol:
 :( I did take some pics of the Diff work. But ive deleted them by mistake trying to put them on my P.C  :(

macca:
nice one back on the road,right back to chapel gate and sort the lane out and we'll try it again.
