just had my discovery serviced and they diagnosed a leak to be coming from the front diff appears to be damaged by a rock or something.... is it better replace the front plate if this is even possible or replace the entire diff? :mad:
 
you've got to take the diff out, then grind out all the old pan cleanly, then weld the new pan in place. it's thin plate to the thick axle casing, so tricky to avoid distorsion of the new pan.
some people tack weld the new pan in 4 places, then fill the rest of the seam with JB Weld - bit of a bodge, but seems to work.
 
i got up a hour earlier for work today and had a look its not leaking were its been hit its actually on the seem were the palte is welded on... its not even 1mm wide cant see it by eye just see the oil seeping out so iv put a bit of j b weld on it and its not done much good im hopefully going to get the welder in work to reweld the seem today if he gets a chance hopefully will be a temp fix! fingers crossed
 
ok cheers getting it repaired in work the little dent hasn't weakened tge plate looks like it's just broke the weld seem so it's getting stripped down and rewelded up fingers crossed the leak will stop and I can spend the money on diff guards! :-s thanks for the help guys!!!
