Is the first as good as the second? By the looks of it the 2nd one would be a bit more robust and less likely to come off, but i dunno.

Cheers

should say its a 300tdi

boss:
the second guard is for a sailsbry axle which is normally found on the rear of a 110. so it wont fit on a standard landrover axle.

i did a photo shoot at tixover last year and whilst my truck was on the rocks i actually knocked the first type of diffguard off. took me ages to find it. they also trap water and crud behind them which was hazardous to my paint job!

i hate to say it but i think the QT guards are the better bet, they cost a little more but my dad doesnt seem to have problems with them!....that is unless your ok with welding the first type on.

john656:
yea i saw that just searching to see if i can find one for a disco, i just wasnt sure if the 2 bolt clamp jobber would be up to it, and judging on your response...... Are the underside of the diffs normally pritty solid?

boss:
thats the otherthing, jerry was telling me when he had problems with the 2 bolt type it was with the axle caising.....this was however on a challenge truck which diddnt see an easey life! then again hes the only person who has toldme about cracking an axle casing which make me question what he says.

QT ones look good though...

or buy portals :lol:

Devon-Rover:
There's only one type of guard to fit......  ;)
