have already posted this but think i put it in wrong section. hi am new member and just got my first freelander, which is a 98 2l diesel. i bought it on sunday 13th nov. brought it back home 350 mile trip no problems. yesterday noticed oil coming out of rear diff where the propshaft coupling goes in the diff. also there is a bit of play when you shake the prop shaft about, would anyone know what the problem woulb be. is it normal to be able to move shaft about by hand. if it is would it need a new oil seal. if its more sinister and i need a new diff can i fit any, or does it have to be from the same year as i have read that ratios changed on later models. thanks for your help.steve
(have just read another post on here where oil is coming out of the diff breather and sprayed over rear bumper and tailgate. could i have same problem my bumper has oil sprayed on it, if so what is the remedy.) thanks
