Diff Problems ! 2008 Defender

If you have the time could you give guys me your opinion on my last post in Rough Defender please.

:twisted:Hi guys
New to this Defender forum have a D1 and thinking about trading in for a 08 Defender but with this talk about them doing diffs i am am having second thoughts.
I was under the believe that these trucks were near invincible and would go forever if you looked after them.
any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks Declan

So true

Keep reading through this site & you will find out buckets of good info on how to look after them properly:)

I wonder if installing an Air locker would resolve any diff problems ;)

And it voids your drive train warranty, so the dealer tells me :( .

Honestly they are a great vehicle, I wouldn't have anything else. You need to remember you generally only hear about problems on forums.

Cheers,

Tim

Tim, have you had any feedback from the dealer yet on your front diff?

Nick

A new diff has been ordered from the UK. Hopefully I'll get the car back next week :( I'll let you know what the story is when I get the car back.

Cheers,

Tim

Tim ... "Hit them up" with the fact that the rear Diff would be of the same quality ... Gonna change that one too?
