Front diff replacement

Hi everyone

A little advice please .... my front diff on my 2005 2.7TD Disco 3 is shot! At least it is chucking masses of oil out after refilling and at least one of the bearing sounds mashed. Shocked Big Cry

Where would you recommend to source a recon diff please? I dont have the skills or tools to take on a rebuild myself sadly.

I am seeing a number of companies offering recon diffs for about £460 inc Vat.

Any advice or pointers would be most appreciated please! Very Happy Very Happy
Thanks to all

Rob

Hi

Regarding the oil pouring out under pressure might be ur front axle breather is blocked

https://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/change-fron...Front+diff

Ref recon diffs I believe Ashcroft do them

https://ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/

Also this company

https://www.bristoltransmissions.co.uk/

Maybe someone might have a good second hand diff available

Hope that helps

Good shout from Gary, breather blocked. There is a modified breather available.

See my thread about front diff swap. Not too bad a job if you need to.

I used Winchester Gears for a front diff, absolutely no issues and they are good folk there.

Had a recon diff from another outfit that used to come recommended on here, it failed within the warranty period (barely squeaked past 10k miles) and they weren’t interested in the slightest about putting it right.
