Knocking,clonking crunching noise!!!!

<< < (2/3) > >>

J.D.:
If the diff is knackered, I would buy a good second hand one rather than repair it. That way the truck will be back on the road the same day, you can then repair the knackered one at you leisure if you need / want to.

Range Rover Blues:
Agreed, the good thing about second hand is it's well proved.

Jonny Boaterboy:
second hand sounds good but where from and how do you know its a good unit?

Range Rover Blues:
A) buy it from a mate
B) buy it from a breaker with a 30 day warranty


There are breakers on e-aby etc or try in our wanted section.  Yours is a soft dash isn't it? if so you need a 24 spline form either end, the back one should have the rubber coupling, the front end has a normal UJ.  You could fit a front diff and a hard-dash propshaft to get rid of the doughnut.

Expect to pay £40-£75 for a good second hand one (yes prices do vary that much) plus delivery.

Jonny Boaterboy:
All sorted, It was the rear differiential that had gone, the pin through the plaet gears had snaped in two I think that was the cause of the clonk in reverse as it got jamed between the pinion and crown wheel, also the cause of the ticking noise as the unit rotated. Goe a secondhand Diff (just the gears and houseing) for £20 and put it all back together and all is good again  :D

Just a quick last question shouuld the bolts on the doughnut  on the prop shaft all be the same way or alternate? or does it not matter!

Thanks Jonny

Ps RRB, I havent forgot about the cd just flat out at the moment, will put a bouns in for you when I get round to it!
