I’ve bought service station 21/5 globes but they blow quick and I’m going for quality this time.
Update - Bought 4 genuine 21/5 LR globes
2 made in Germany
2 made in Slovakia
Go figure!
Further Update - 2 days later and $22 of new globes has fixed the problem. Everything back to normal.

This is my problem with my D3, leaking pinion seal on front diff, leaking seal on RH output of rear diff. My experience on all other vehicles has been to replace the bearing and seal but no! I have to replace the diffs, $8,000 all up for two leaking seals????
I understand that generally seals do not leak until there is a bit of wear in the bearing associated.
And, $16,000 for a transmission, new recommended, about $8,500 to reco. Which way would you go?

SubscriberThis suggests diff seals are available - DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - Rear Diff Leak
Generally a rebuilder would also be able to source the bearing and seal from a big bearing supplier as they are used to working around ‘proprietary’ parts where the manufacturer doesn’t offer a breakdown.

Who is giving you getting those figures? 16 months ago I paid just under $3,000 of a replacement front diff ($1,100) and transfer case ($1,800). Both low km from a D4. My D3 is 06/2006. I do not know what a rear diff would be but I would have thought similar money to the front.
I have not been on the forum much lately but previously a new transmission was referred to in the order of $8,000 tops. Hence I ask where those figures are coming from...

SubscriberEvery time a Toyoya driver tells me that there's a Toyota service centre in every regional area, I respond with "Wow! Are they that unreliable that they need that!?".

Prices were from a dealer, Solitaire in Adelaide and included fitting in the case of the diffs. It seems that special tools are required to setup the diffs & only a firm in Melbourne has them.
$8500 for a reconditioned transmission fitted direct from the re conditioner.

The prices for the low km replacements I quoted above were what I purchased from a business located near the coast in Southern Adelaide. I was happy to go that way rather than experience heart and wallet issues in dealing with prices that would have been similar to what you were quoted.
As I said, I have not heard of what the current ball park pricing is for a transmission unit but like the diff prices they seem far higher than I would be wanting to pay without checking around. I hope that you get somewhere in getting your D3 sorted without having to fork out too much.
