Urgent Diagnosis help needed

(1/33) > >>

gords:
My Discovery broke down today - I was pulling away when something went bang/clang/etc and I lost drive.

Selecting diff-lock enables it to move, but non diff-lock (high or low) goes nowhere.

So, where do I start on diagnosing what's broken? Of course, if anyone local fancies a look - please feel free :wink:

Wanderer:
I had similar and it was the rear diff. Sounds like you've either broken the halfshalfts, a diff or a propshaft has gone.
It could be internal but I doubt it.

Thrasher:
I have a diff centre here you can have if that has failed.

(i.e. no crown wheel)

My money is on a snapped pin.

oh and just in case you were thinking about it - DO NOT DRIVE IT EVEN WITH DIFF LOCK IN - you might push some metal through the casing or damage the crown wheel - and then it will cost *even more*

muddyweb:
I stand by what I said on the phone ;-)

If the rear prop is turning then it is a rear axle problem... pull the shafts and if they are OK then you need a new diff.
