Hardly worth sending it back for a duff oil seal
Thrasher:
Gords,
You did put a nice thick layer of hylomar in there didn't you .. don't use it sparingly...!
Take pic of the leak please ;-)

--- Quote from: "gords" ---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?

You shouldn't need special tools.
That is one of the part numbers, there is another possible... is the diff from the same vehicle as yours ?

No but if they have offered a guarantee he should seek some remuneration for the fault.

Yes!
When I saw the leak the first time, I had driven a few miles at 40+ so the oild was everywhere. This time I wiped as much off as possible and only drove a mile or so. The giveaway, I think, is that the underside of the diff guard (QT) was soaked and I could see oil around the diff/propshaft end - but nothing significant near the diff/axle mounting.
The diff does (supposedly) have 90 days guarantee - so I'll phone them tomorrow and see what they say :wink:
Tim - is the diff from the same vehicle? Well, I asked for a 24 spline 3 bolt diff for a Discovery 300 ... so I would hope it is!?
