Hi all, it's been a couple of years since I last visited the Landy Zone ( I've been blessed with trouble free motoring )
Until now!!!
I have a noisy rear diff that's vibrating and is probably on it's way out( covered 160k miles)
My question is 3 fold as a brand new unit is around a grand.
No1. Does anyone have a brand new unit on a shelf gathering dust that they want to give me
No2. Can I replace the complete diff with a better one( upgraded for off-road etc) like an air locker type ETC?
No3. Any advise is welcome

Cheers Ewan

Thanks Guys
I’ve emailed Ashcroft ( I await a response) I may end up getting a used diff of Ebay and have a go at getting our motor gearbox guys at work to ref

its a good point! When on ramp and in the air and stephascope is put on diff ( loads of noise and vibration) occurs
