Front axle on Disco II

Well, it had to happen I suppose.
The breather tube on the front axle had been off for an unknown amount of
time. I would expect quite a few thousand kilometers. In the meantime the
car had been driven on many unsealed roads and had also crossed a very salty
creek about four times - salt concentrations about 5 times that of seawater.
Although the oil has been changed several times, nothing is going to save
it. Noisy & whiney.
So, I'm on the lookout for a replacement. Probably best if I can a complete
axle from a wreck.
FYI, its a Disco series2 TD5 with the late model axle, fine splines so I've
been told.
Location is Adelaide, South Australia.

No worries, it'll go on for donkey's years like that!
