Also make sure they're 10 spline and not 24 spline otherwise your halfshafts won't fit
ok, Pretty sure there 10 spline because its the same car i took the 200tdi from, think there mostly 10 spline?

ive heard of people pulling half shaft out and jacking up that side and filling thru stu axle ,ive allways drilled 12mm hole and welded 12 mm nut over and made bung out of bolt
sounds like the way to do it, il have a look in the light.
what are you running then diff engine etc?

all normal rover axled coil sprung landrover run the same diff ratio it doesn't matter if they are 10 spline or 24 spline...
in answer to the OP question it will be ok BUTif it gets knocked into 4wd or low ratio say good by to your transfer box cause it'll get eaten! for the sake of a few hours work you might as well fit both diffs the rear takes about half an hour on the floor the front takes a couple of hours as you have to take the wheels and brakes off
Ok sounds good, im only doing the rear tomorrow morning as only have a few hours, but i think il cut a bit of pipe and sleeve the 4wd lever so it cant compress and go into 4wd etc

or you could drop the front prop off til you have done the front 
would give you a chance to check the UJs and replace if necessary
remember to replace the propshaft nuts n bolts whenever you take them off! for the money they cost (pence) its not worth not doing it!

yes done quite a few diff carrier a pinion can be changed same and ratios are the same 3.54 or 4.7,theres can be a bit more setting up required in that you have to change internals
