So there are different ratios... How can I tell if the ratio is the same or not? I know one way is to count the teeth on crown and pinion and then use a ratio calculator. Is there any other way to do it? Without having to dismantle the diff from the housing?

Thanks Ratty for the links. So all salisbury diffs are the same?? From range rover V8 or from a 200TDI defender? With or without discs?? Mines is a TD5 with read discs.

Oh really?? Is it better than ARB ones? Can you please give me a source for this diff. Cheers!

Im hoping its the shafts.. I will get my mechanic to check it out on sunday; hes an ex dealership guy so he knows his way around Land Rovers. I the diff is broke im in piles of s**T!

You will need to replace your clutch master cylinder...either the whole cylinder or only the washer kit in the cyliner. I had the same problem some time ago and replacing the cylinder fixed it. Its a common failure I'd say; have replaced it three times since new(2002).

Thanks Ratty! Is there anything else I should know? Like how many splines do the half shafts have, etc? and any insight on the problem im facing?? Is there any kit available for this diff? Like an overhaul kit or a star wheel kit? Cheers!

okay the half shafts on the rear diff had twisted splines on the diff ends but I was still using the vehicles since the shafts were not available here. I did some offroading the other day and my vehicle started producing these noises afterwards from the read diff. And when I pushed the car...

@gavbriggs.. thanks for the inout but I have never seen an RR/RRS in this color here in my country. Went to the crappiest dealer ever!! And they didnt have that shade card which has all the colors in it. So then went to a Honda dealer with a good paint shop and the guy there was quite...

hmm.. nevermind I'll visit my land rover dealer tomorrow, they are quite crappy! Thanks for looking for me !

?bump!

HEy guys.. I really like this color on the RRS and I wanna get my VW sprayed with the same color. Would any one know the LR color code for this nara bronze color. I am attaching a pic for reference. Flickr: torchd1's Photostream

Nothin works at all... like no head lights or parking lights front or back. And no lights in the cluster etc... And when they... they work absolutely fine.

Hey guys! I've got this weird fault in my TD5 2001 Defender 110. The head lights along with parking lights dont work sometimes. If I park my car for sometime and when I come back and switch the lights on nothing happens. Not even the parking lights work. And if I leave the switch on they...

CharlesY Thanks man. But I do not really want to do the petrol addition thing. That is because I have been using the same fuel all this time and the problem appeared only a couple of days ago. So I wanna find the problem first. Which is probably glow plugs. If you are suggestting this...

The diff lock light switch mechanism is designed such that the diff lock light only comes on when the diff lock actually engages. The light has nothing to do with the lever moving left or right. You should tell some one to watch it and when the diff lock is engaged one wheel from EACH AXLE...

Replaced the battery with a pretty much new one and of the same size. But to no joy. Hasn't made any difference to the morning starts. Glow plugs are next.

Foss... I dont think the battery is the culprit nonetheless I will swap it with my Mercedes battery and see if that makes any difference. Charles Y... I follow the first one.. I dont think there any serious serious issues with fuel quality since this problem started only a couple of...

Hey guys! I got my defenders oil changed with centrifugal and main filter change, air filter and a Mahle/Knetch fuel filter. But it has made no difference at all... it starts takes a while to start. What do you reckon what should I do? Should I get it checked on T4? Would that reveal...

No. Hardly any short trips. It does long trips mostly.

Hey guys... I attached cables to it from another car, the starter turned much faster but it still didnt start instantly. Took longer crank than it is suppose to but shorter than it was on its own battery.
