    Is this an option? Work well? Anyone done it?

    Thanks,

    No, the rover diff is even weaker than what you have in there already.

    The 2 viable long term options are either the ashcroft hypoid conversion or a salisbury. Dave S picked up a NOS salisbury from LR cheap. not sure if they still have them for sale...

    Don't know, but I have always ordered direct from Ashcroft UK and received the items in a week or less.

    This may be a dumb question - am l just as well off to pull the diff centre out and have a Diff Specialist replace the bearings?

    I realsie this is not an upgrade - l am not fussed however. We will trade this vehicle on a new 130 later next year. This is not a long term keeper so to speak.

    In that case yes. If the CW&P are OK, then just get a diff specialist to repair it.

    Smile swap it out

    Ok so this has answered several questions for me. just hit 275k on my rover diff.
    After having my sals rear diff with arb cover for sale and no interest its time to fit it to my 03 130. new cranked trailing arms and bushes, hubs, rotors bearings, calipers, and now to decide if i get the maxidrive axles now or wait a little while, as i can just drop them in.
    Diff is open oil bath, only other thing is do i look for a diff lock??? suggestions?
    was worried about the clearance issue but after doing the front diff a month ago just turning around in the drive its crunch time.

    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.

    Hi Mike

    If its your second, two words diff locker :P

    Cheers

    A locker will strengthen the centre for sure, but it won't address pinion bearing issues - and that's what seems to be the issue in this case (not sure about the last time though?)
