How is it dodgey? Its a common practicce here and is allowed as long as both the cars look the same. So is it doable or not?

Thanks guys for the info!! No I have not stolen the puma.. One is available for cheap but import duty has not been paid... so I cannot drive/register it. The duty is too steep and the price gets wayyyyyyyy out of reach if I pay that. So I was thinkin of getting an old defenders...

Would some one know if the new 2.4 TDCI Puma defender 90 shares the chassis with 300/200 Defender 90? Or perhaps a series defender? Can the body and engine of a puma defender be bolted to a chassis from an older defender? Thanks guys!

Thanks Jai! My T box might be alright... I had changed the diff and my brother told me that he heard that sound again so I thout that it must be the t case then since the diff is almost new. Now he tells me the sound came from the front left wheel. So I was thinking of taking it to my...

And my mechanic is around 130 kms away from me so would it be safe if i remove the front prop shat and drive the vehicle this far.. with the diff lock engaged? Thanks.

Thanks Jai for the detailed reply... Okay so I got under my rig and looked for the tag and found behind the hand brake drum on Tcase buried under loads of gunk so had to clean it with degreaser. It reads 1.410 ratio and 4WD and thats it. Doesnt tell me which type it is. I looked up the...

Okay.. so I thought my landy was fit for the road again!! But I was sadly mistaken! After driving it a lil bit I heard that missing a tooth noise twice again! i dunno where it came from but I reckon it was from the transfer box since I have already replaced the front diff with a pretty...

All oils are always changed on time, it was regularly serviced by the dealer in Dubai till 70K and I changed all oils about 4k kms ago. I had put GL4 75w80 in the transfer box which was very thinnn, atf in gearbox and GL4 SAE EP 90 in diffs. Are these the right specification of oils to be...

SHEDJIM.. Got the diff fitted with new seals and bearings! works absolutely fine! But there is a whining noise when I drive fast in Low range only. My mechanic says when the diff broke it prolly stressed some bearing/gear in the transfer box so will have to open it up and check it out...

Thanks SHEDJIM.. The flange on the diff is squarish and on the prop shaft is round. You reckon it would fit? I'm getting mechanic to fit it all together! I will update. Cheers!

Bump!

Bump!

SHEDJIM and Jai_land rover! I got a good used disco diff from a dismantler! I checked the crown and pinion teeth, half shaft splines are correct too! Measured everything as accurately as I could and I believe it would fit perfect! Although the flange on the new diff differs in shape from the...

I dont think that can be done... mechanic says it could be but thats not a good way to go about it. plus this unit looks old and my car is pretty new and fit so I dont wanna do it all over again in near future. I will exhaust all my options here first and then I will think about importing one...

@SHEDJIM.. Thanks man it definitely helps! Jai_land rover.. I got a used diff from a scrap yard, the guy told me its a front diff from a defender but on arrival my mechanic told me that it is a rear diff from an earlier disco... the teeth on crown and pinion are the same but the prop...

Bump... Help please!

Hey guys.. I need a front diff for my defender which is a 2001 Defender 110 TD5 crew cab. chassis # SALLDHF881A620758. Will a front diff from a DISCO 300TDI fit my defender TD5? The chassis of the disco is SALLJGM73VA739246. Im not sure what uear it is I found it at a dismantler and...

Any comments.... And do 300 TDI discoveries from 93-98 have the same front diff as my defender? The teeth on the crown are 46 and on the pinion are 13. Thanks!

Okay.. Got my mechanic to check the problem out and was found the the front diff is fuc*ed and not the rear! Although I had already replaced the front diff around 40K kms ago with a brand new one but some how it still managed to get scre*ed again! I dont know what went wrong... Also found...

Thanks man! My rear diff is just fine.. I was mistaken cuz those stupid noises came from the back.. or atleast thats what I thought!
