I forgot to check until I'd washed my hands yet again! I'll check tomorrow, although there's certainly nothing big as I did have a quick delve after removing the diff.

i say that as the halfshaft looks worn

It's hard to tell, they seem to slot in quite nicely and don't slop when turning. I think there is up/down movement, but I'm not sure what's moving. Surely, they would have to be completely shagged to stop the car moving completely?!
--- Quote from: "Ed" ---What about some more pictures of the diff and halfshaft ends?
Try setting things up on the bench as they would be on the vehicle and operate it as you would on the car.
Then try get someone to hold the halfshaft with some grips and see if turning the drive flange can over ride it.

I've taken a few more pictures - one shows the splines for the half shafts reasonably well.
I did try putting the half shafts in place and tried turning various ends in various directions. It seemed fine, but I don't have a bench or a spare pair of hands do it was a bit difficult to test it properly :(

looking at the picture of your halfshaft and the 5th picture along(the one that shows the sockets)
id say that is where your problem lies
look how flat the recieving splines are
corresponds with the halfshaft
it is possible that you could not turn this by hand
remember how much horse power there is in your enginge compared to your hands
and dont forget the weight of the disco

They do look worn flat. Under load it would slip
