Hi

Have you had any luck finding the cause to the problem yet? Im experiencing the same sort of noise as you describe on my 90 and would like to get to the bottom of it.

Cheers

When I got my 300tdi 110 it had a similar clunk upon drive from the rear axle (not a-frame ball problem and halfshafts/flanges replaced), not quite half a turn of backlash though but more than it supposed to be.

3 years on, many road and hard greenlane miles later and I am still waiting for the axle to break or even show sign of getting worse... I guess I just got used to not dumping the throttle on take off.

had this loads of times when i had 37" tyres its a bent pinion pin ,swap diff and it will be fine in the end i had ashcroft shafts and four pin  but still used to get problems so i used to rebuild my own diffs real cheap to do and not rocket science ;)

finlay:
thanks for the reply and info, i m gonna strip the diff when next i get the chance, hopefully it will be something obvious like bombx mentioned, the pinion was bent, i will let you know what i find

cheers

P.S is the diff drive flange bolt a RH or LH thread ?

I have the same with 2003 double cab, spoke to my (who has 25 years in the LR business as a workshop owner) he said not to worry, they all do it  at some point and it happens alot with them, I said about checking/changing, and he said not to worry.
