2004 110 TD5 clunk from rear diff
finlay:
hi
something in my rear diff has packed in, alot of backlash (atleast 1/2 turn of prop), this can be seen by watching the diff underneath the car with someone else driving, and a loud clunk when i take off from a stand still and when i go up through the gears, its a 110 defender 2004 TD5 with 118k, is this a common problem you see with this kind of millage ? what could be causing this ?, any help would be appreciated as this is my first landy and i ve only had it for a week so i m still very much a learner in the Landy world
many thanks :)

First thing to do is to drain the oil out and look at it.
Colour, Consistency, Taste (joke)
Stick your finger though the drain hole and poke about to see if you can find any bits / swarff in there.
If its a grey colour its water contaminated which probably not helped.
it should be a nice golden syrup colour.

1/2 a turn, really :shock:
I think something must have bust inside it or it's run with no oil for a very long time.

yea, it think me wallet is going to get a dent in it, lol

I'm not an expert on the latest Defender but if your has the Salisbury in the back you can take the cover plate off and have a good look inside. Downside is you need to swap the whole axle or take it in to have it rebuilt I think, the diff is built up inside the axle.
If it were me I might be thinking about a 300 TDi axle if there is any difference, the newer LR products seem to be more expensive to fix, wheel bearings, things like that.
