Thread: D2 with BUSTED rear diff!

There we were in the middle of the track, fortunately early morning, me underneath removing the rear tailshaft, missus wardy doing the passing of tools, and thinking Hell, i hope we can get the rest of the way up in front wheel drive.

Well, we couldn't. Fortunatly we came across (or actually they arrived) a great group with a couple of prado's, a 60 and a new jeep. They kindly towed me up, returned back to the camper and pulled it up (albeit with more difficulty than we were having on the previous/more difficult stage )

It's nice to know that the spirit of the bush is still alive and well!

Anyway, I'm glad I had a CDL fitted, we had a nice drive home in front wheel drive....now I have to find a diff...... anyone got one?

Sorry to hear of your trouble Wardy, it is always good to see people helping others out in the bush. Time for you to upgrade to a locker in the rear i think
I have one out in the driveway you could buy..............it comes with a whole discovery though

if the centre is the same as a d1 i have one

Thanks Wildone..... I'm thinking very seriously re the locker. Might as well get it in there while its all in bits. Why would you be wanting to sell a D2 as good as yours....esp leaving the beer fridge in LOL.

Can anyone tell me if the D1 centre offered by Dirtydawg will fit please.

is your diff a 24 spline?

Not sure, will have a look when I get home in about an hour

Yes it will fit. It is slightly different in the carrier but it will swap over as long as the d1 version is 24 spline

I just bought myself a Ranger XLT Crew Cab 4x4 with a full compliment of bits, Colour coded canopy, colour coded bullbar, snorkel, driving lights.....Not as capable as my Disco but far more suited for work and will make an excellent tourer. Has more power out of the box than my chipped Disco.
Will be VERY sad to see the Disco go but will get another Landy down the line for some offroad fun Perhaps a 90??
