TONIGHT we have a contest ,in the red corner range rover dse 96 and in the blue corner big dave AGAIN its a rematch ...my rear is u/s so im hoping its going to be a 1 out 1 in job[some hope].im hoping someone could through some light on my problem,i appreciate the diffs have to be the same ratio but does anyone know wether the rear diff is a 2pin or a 4pin because ive seen both advertised? which one to go for? is the TC any thing to do with the diff[never had TC before],does it make any [email protected] a lot of info on the forum ,i hoped someone might know....thanks a lot ...dave ps this damned motor wont beat me if i can help it:doh:

2 pin or 4 pin - it wont matter, although the 4 pin is stronger and better. The important thing is whether its 10 or 24 spline, to match your halfshafts.

CHEERS MHM i knew ide have check the splines from past experience,looking on ebay i see 2 and 4 pin diffs listed.I have heard it mentioned that tdi300 diffs are the same but as usuall nobody can confirm it,i was hoping this will be a quick job,ffs.i reckon ill have to strip it and go from there also as usuall im,e running out of time cos the classic is due for its mot,it never rains but it pours....you will no doubt have been there yersel,,thanks for the input mate.........dave

IIRC the 4 pin diffs are for the 4.6 and the 4.0 or 2.5D use the 2 pin.

cheers spud thats great ive found a 2pin dif of a pal of min free of charge,very nice too,but didnt know if it would fit,yippee thats good news mate,it means im just waiting for the oil seals and gaskets,,,,thanks a lot mate.......i knew someone would know on here....cheers...dave
