    I've puzzled over that one for fifty years - but the ones without flanges are probably a lot cheaper to manufacture - much simpler forging. And even taking into account the cost of the flange, cost is still probably a lot cheaper. And flogging out of axle flanges was not a problem until oil lubricated bearings were phased out in the late 90s. For example, at nearly 600,000km I have replaced one flange on my 110.

    Question I have, would these 2016 axles fit on the 2013 110. I am on my way to 2nd set of axles under warranty so it may be an idea to slot in the one piece axles instead of HD. I give mine a lot of flogging off-road often and the current axle arrangement is not fit for purpose.

    WHAT are your thoughts on that.

    I didn't realise you could get a MY16 130, well done.
    Did it come with DSC
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    I've got my 1st service coming up soon and I'm going to take it to Graham Coopers. They were the first to point them out and were very interested when I went there for a towbar. I'll see if they want to yank one out while it is in there to see if the diff end is the same.

    My 110 has the silly plastic/rubber cap flanges and it's dated 09/2015 on the vin plate on the passenger door jamb.
    I read somewhere it's a MY16 but I can't remember where.
