    That joy awaits me. Still, cost of new hitch on a grenadier? £1,400. Depreciation while waiting on the parts to fit a hitch? £1,400.

    Depending on how the diff was welded up you might be able to replace it with a Detroit soft locker, fairly easy job. Like this.

    If you can find a replacement axle you'll be fine. Parts for Salisbury axles are available. And there are great tutorials on YouTube. Britannia restorations, Mike, Covers a full rebuild.

    Oh, no, that's a Salisbury. Your replacement diff won't do. Salisbury diffs are tough, and tricky to work on. 24 splines on both ends of the shaft.

    I'd works that you could damage the stub axle, which is what it's catching on. You can remove the stub axle and avoid damaging it.
