    Centre diff arriving from Ashcrofts this week (hopefully). I'm going to see how this goes before looking at an Ashcroft read diff.

    Poor QC across the board. The biggest insult was a 2015 one i fitted a atb to they had cut eveb more corners and made the centre diff only 2 pin! !!

    If ever there was a land-rover model that needed an atb immediately it is the 2007 on puma

    Guess I am mis informed then.

    Still. Weird how that is happening as it is the space between the bearing races that is out of whack to cause that and they are pressed into the intermediate gear, as you already know just trying to nut out the error.

    So, all I can think of is a machining error in the intermediate gear. Did it have the 2 circlips inside the gear, that you press the bearing races up against, as per earlier LT230s? - mine does not, the bore changes same as wheel bearings into the hub.

    Do you know if there was a definitive changeover date for this downgrade?

    All of us that saw the photo's Justin posted of the new centre diff were gobsmacked at how cheap and nasty it was.
    A cast centre with only 2 pinion gears ?
    Seriously Land Rover?

    It was one of the most atrocious pieces of engineering cost cutting I've seen.

    Mick i would certainly change the oil more often and use a synthetic 75w90. If it starts to leak out of the intermediate shaft o rings then het to it early. Sometimes they leak because the shaft preload is insufficient and ot is deflecting under loading... this is the reason the cases flog out too....
