Urgent Diagnosis help needed

<< < (11/33) > >>

Digsit:
Gords. Sorry missed this thread as been a bit busy in the house DIY department.

I replaced my rear diff a few weeks ago. Never done it before and apart from it being bloody heavy (saying that I managed to remove and refit it without a trolley jack) everything was quite straight forward :D

I bought a second hand one off a similar year Disco on ebay. £35.00 and it is loads better than my old one :wink:

Wanderer:
It might as well be a mind altering drug at the prices.
Limited Slip Diff or a Tru trac.

Oh how we all wish money wasn't a problem?

gords:
OK, got the diff off. Can't see anything obviously broken (although I probably don't know what I'm looking at :roll: )

I can turn the propshaft bit and hold either/both of the wheel bits - so what/how should these two bits join? :?

There is another picture in my gallery.

muddyweb:
Well... on the face of it... that looks OK...

Is everything secure and attached ?


We could be looking at a CV joint after all, and the rear prop wasn't actually turning.

Time to start stripping the hubs  :?

The propshaft definitely turned ... when I got it home I did high box, 1st gear, let out the clutch and the propshaft went round ... car stayed still :roll:

Shouldn't there be a fixed connection between the input/propshaft and each output/half shaft? I put one of the half shafts back in, turned the propshaft bit and the half shaft didn't turn. :?
