    Not really a whole lot of progression when you look at the Leyland Brothers film where they crossed Australia from West to East in 1966 and they had the same failure.

    I think that was a change made for the D2 to remove a stress raiser.

    The shafts used to rotate and wear away the circlips until the shaft fell out. I suppose they changed to roll pins to stop that.

    Why not a big bolt like some others (Toyota?) fit to hold the shaft????
    Like steering boxes this has been a LR problem since time began.

    I think you will find that some of the early Series diffs had roll pins

    does this problem go away when ARB airlockers are fitted ?
    seems like a good excuse to me if it does.
    "preventative maintenance is fitting airlockers honey. it will stop us breaking down in our time of need"

    I believe so as it gets rid of the factory hemisphere eliminating all the roll pis and gears etc. You go to the ARB gears which I would imagine are a lot stronger. At least that's my reasons for doing it.

    Diffs and headlight relays are among the 1st things I fix whenever (not very often) I get a new (to me) Land Rover.

    I think Land Rover may have finally addressed the 2 pinion diff weakness when they changed to the P38 style diff, but as usual they had to introduce a new weakness in doing so.
