As title - mines developed play - as in i can move the prop about quite freely and I do get some noise/clunking when I'm driving it. So was just wondering if it was serviceable/repairable

what do you mean move ,diffs have taper bearings so while rotating freely shouldnt have endfloat or side ways movement etc,if you have other than rotational movement it needs new bearings,there will be some movement in transfer box end as is supported by ball bearing on outer end and center diff on inner
 
the cross pin in the diff centre will have worn elongated holes in the differential cage itself. this ios a common issue on 10 spline diffs for sure, does create clunking. it will not do any harm but is annoying.

it is not serviceable as the parts are worn.

cheers
 
Ok as long as it don't give out on me when I'm playing in mud! there is some movement in the prop apparently, as my mate has the truck atm. But it's done over 1500 miles recently. Also, my gearbox has a clunk into 3rd - and there's noise into 2nd but understand that's normal - a fault with those boxes? - and can be a pain to get into high gears sometimes

not normal but common when worn if h suffix box i would get fixed sooner than later
 
Have a feeling it's down to G/Box - Transfer Box now, the Disco seems to top out speed wise at about 70/80 so would it possibly be a gearbox/transfer box from a defender?
 
I gorra clunking (op shaft??) R380, but have a good ( i think) spare to swap over - so its disco replacement.
 
you need input gear as well if main shaft had wear if reusing t/box ,oil etc but a case of carlsberg for you
 
i mite take yu up on that when it gets real bad (i got a spare Tbox anorl).
I assume easier to swap than strip and rebuild?
