First off, hello everyone, I'm a not so new Disco owner. I've had some problems with it, mostly tried to fix them myself, but one in particular is too much for me or any mechanic I've spoke to. Front diff clunk's very heavily sometimes when hard steering. I've ignored this for as long as I could,thinking that I'll replace it anyway at some point. At least until my front props haft broke near one of the cross bearings. I took it all apart,aattempted tto switch it with the rear one, since I couldn't afford a new one and as said, the front one works fine when driving straight, but upon inspection they both looked completely fine, no missing teeth, just very dark oil. Changed the oil, drove without the front propshaft, no more clunks, for a week. Now they started again. I don't know what it could be at this point, I suspect the oil level is dropping when driving, since the pinion seal leaks a bit. But could it behave in such a way because of it? Forgot to mention, it clonks with and without the propshaft mounted on. Anybody had something similar happen to them? Thanks you all in advance and I apologise if this isn't the right category, if so I will remove the thread and put it in the right one. Cheers!
