Another problem with my P38

Sounds like the front drivers side cv joint is gone, Knocking ang clunking when on a lock. Also there is a slight jerking when i come to a stop.

Are the easy to change or repair, done them on normal cars but never on a range rover let alone a p38.

on further investigation today the noises are coming from the front diff.

Thats gonna be expensive!!!

you can get a complete axle for approx 50 quid of ebay and you can take the shafts and diff out and swap on both axles in about 2 hours done my old mans one about a year ago as crown wheel had teeth snap off done it in a barn no 4 post ramp just every day jacks,stands, and trusty loss of blood to the odd knuckle or 2 or you can swap whole axle in thhe same sort of time

Ideal hopefully will get it on me mates ramp tomorrow and have a proper look inside the diff and check the half shafts.

Need to find a local one on ebay really as its a lumpy bit of kit to post.

Do the axles and diffs differ from the classic?

believe the axle differs
as the drivetrain is on opposite sides to a disco, havent been under a classic

but the father in law swap bits between his disco 1 and a classic

there are even diiferences at the hub ends in how the bearings / half shafts seal on the disco/classic axles

i'm pretty sure classic is the other side to the p38, just wondered if the diff internals are the same?

I don't think internals are the same, as I've been looking at KAM lockers and RRC and P38 are listed as different parts.

ok thanks for that.

Just looked on ebay and cant find a diff or axle under £200 :frusty:
