Hi everyone,

I am now (since RTV at n.Ormsby) in need of a front diff for a series 3
axle, standard diff, not rover. Mine seems to have lost a tooth from the
crown wheel.

Anybody got one in lincs/notts area for a reasonable price?

Thanks, Terry

That's Rover-type axle, Series 3 ratio, right?

I have one to spare, but it's got something up with a bearing and the
pinion oilseal. You can feel the play and it's very noisy, and dribbles
EP90.

The actual gears look OK, so if you want to do a re-build....

Free if you want to collect (about 10 miles north of Market Rasen)

Thanks for that David, but I need a drop in and go solution.
I've tracked one down near Grantham for 75 quid ready to go, and at present
it seems like best option.

4.7:1 ratio

Thanks again, Tezza

Are series diffs really worth that much? I'm going to have to start
breaking the stock of axles i've been collecting!

Seems to be the going rate for a second-hand diff; a little more with
delivery charges.
