Xtremeteam:
for the shafts i normaly go in a criss cross pattern like u would wheels but for the diffs etc i just work my way round,same with the prop shaft bolts

gords:
8-[ Still nervous ... 100Nm? 8-[

Haynes reckons 65Nm for the Halfshaft flange retaining bolts. :?

Xtremeteam:
as i said make them tight,ive never torqued any of the diff or prop bolts ever,always done them up tight with either the gun or with a ratchet & never had the diff come slack or the 1/2 shafts,had the prop bolts start to come slack but cured that with a bit o tipex

gords:
Well, I gave all the nuts another session with the torque wrench - this time I got to 64Nm before I chickened out 8-[  They do seem pretty 'kin tight now though!

Topped up the oil (what an awkward job!) and took it for a short test drive. Stopped, got out, had a look underneath ... and there was the oil dripping out again :evil:

This time, because I hadn't driven so far, the cause/location was easier to see ... yep, the pinion oil seal :cry:

Is the process the same on the 300 as it is on the 200 (I've seen Cliff's workshop article)? Does it need any special tools or can it be done without?

Is the part number for the seal FRC8220?

Now, of course, if anyone local has the special tools they would be most welcome to pop round :wink:  [-o<

Range Rover Blues:
Isn't this diff under guarantee?
