    Blew my Diff .... :(

    Well...
    I have a collapsed bearing in my rear diff (02 Defender). If anyone has a spare one in their back shed....yell out!

    Did it in Dargo yesterday. No - l wasn't being silly! This is the second Rover-style diff l've had die on me. The last one was on LR as was under warranty. Not so lucky this time.

    unless of coarse he has a 90

    If it is a 110/130 then yes the P38 type diff. Since you have done 2, I would look into Ashcrofts HD replacement diff for this type.

    I've got one out of SVX 2008 Puma. 40,000k's quite no noise, no faults.

    Spare as I fitted the Ashcroft HDP38, before anything went wrong.

    PM with an offer if your keen.

    Cheers

    Or a Salisbury replacement. After doing 3 diffs I'm glad I took this option especially after more than 120,000 kms without further rear diff problems.

    I hope the person who signed off on putting the P38 diff into a Defender has a thousand fleas in his bed, starch in his underwear and no hot water in the morning.

    Well Dargo has claimed another. I too have had a major mechanical failure near Dargo a couple of years ago. So are you with RACV or could you still get it home?

    I can only go by the information in your posts, in your first one you said you had "done 2 Rover style" Since you thought the P38 was a Rover type diff, I took that as being the second diff in this vehicle…..

    Yep I gotta agree. Bite the bullet and do the salibury transplant.
    You will save money in the long run.I did the swap over a year ago and it's just a good feeling you've got an exceptionally strong rear diff. While ya at it throw in a maxi drive locker and hd axles&flanges.
