A Disco rear will let you down when you need it the most. My Sals is less than 10mm lower than the front diff, and a hell of a lot stronger than a Rover diff and axles.

If you shop around you should able to pick up an ARB/MD locked salisbury for AU$1000 or less disc-disc. You should then be able to sell your old rear axle. It would work out no more expensive than any other option.Originally Posted by stig0000

Clarification:
RD128 (Rover type) and RD138 (P38A) are not interchangeable due to the ring gear offset. The axle splines are the same and ring gear ID, bolt pattern, bearings, etc are common. P38A has a much larger flange diameter to get some extra support behind the ring gear to try to combat the flex. I can't say if it works or not.
Another very common mod in competition at the moment is to buy a Hilux third member and Hilux Air Locker (RD132) and swap a Land Rover gear set into the diff (direct swap in new ARB diffs), and bolt it up to the banjo (ratios matched to the front - obviously). You will double the ring and pinion strength and still be able to run Rover/Maxi shafts.

Great info!! Did you go through a few disco diffs before switching to the Sals?

Fit a cast or heavy plated diff cover and you'll prevent any oil leaks occurring from peeling the tin one on a rock.A Disco rear end is weak in a Disco, no matter about a 110.

I have a feeling it strengthens the centre too, especially if you use something like Loctite 518 to effectively bond it the the centre.
The downside is less oil cooling/more heat retained, so use an 80W-140 GL5 oil.
