I'm pretty certain that's what they're hoping I do. I'm trying to get them to actually fix the problem, I shouldn't have too

I was trying to suggest an option that uses standard Landrover parts as I believed the vehicle was still under warranty.

The Ashcroft option is also good, but more expensive.

So, I've been hanging off (for more than 2 years) waiting on the Ashcroft HDP38 to be sorted but I'm going to the Cape in September and I'm not going without a locker - so, for those in the know, is the HDP38 finally sorted? Or should I just get an Ashcroft locker and a few goodies (HD C&P) for the P38?

Why don't you drop dave a line? Mine is awesome now and only a slight whine at 40km/h but it doesn't bother me.

X 2 mine was one of first off the production line and has been faultless. It does have that slight whine around that 40-50km when decelerating, but it was never enough to bother pulling it out.

Ok so today I got some very unpleasant news from Land Rover...
My car has just came out of warranty on the 13th of August 2014. The rear diff is still noisy and 2 dealerships have looked at it and have both acknowledged that it is noisy but they aren't going to do anything about it. So they have closed the case down and basically don't care.
Was told by one of them that "it is a characteristic of the car"
Am very unimpressed!

Edit - wrong thread

Perfect excuse to fit an Ashcroft centre and diff lock and be done with it for good.
