Not really sure, but I think that it was when there was a transfer of power to the back due to lack of drive from the frontQuote:

So, diff is out. Not looking to good here.... The center has exploded and it appears that there is also some damage to the crown wheel as well. Which is not good news.

The housing has really taken a beating
Looks like a fairly typical failure of the cross shaft. The cross shaft on later models (Series 3 - on) has a circlip either end. This allows the shaft to rotate, which wears both the shaft hole in the diff and the circlips, which eventually fall off, allowing the cross shaft to go on holiday.
The circlip on one end had fallen off.. bugger of things
Fortunately real diffs like MD/ARB/JM/etc... don't have circlips ;)Quote:
