Hi mate, where did you purchase it from? I need to get mine done
Just a quick heads up, CGA wrote his reply 4 years ago, so price probably less relevant now.
The online retailers, eBay, and amazon all seem close to £31, but that’s what my local Land Rover dealer parts department wanted, and they got it next day for collection.
Kajtzu listed the LR part number a couple of posts up, so you can always google for it just in case you can find it cheaper, but I couldn’t yesterday.
Good luck!

Just bought one from my local LR dealer for £31.22 inc vat.
Couldn’t find it much cheaper anywhere to justify waiting for delivery rather than being able to collect first thing AM.
Talk about “some” inflation in less than half a year. I got mine from AF in the beginning of October 2017.

No kidding!
By the looks of it some 500% increase in price since it was released, if people originally got it for £6.
Asked the LR dealer if it would be something LR would cover as it’s a part failure; flat no, but you never know was worth a shot!

I had a new front diff fitted last Oct, at recent service by different indy I was told my new diff was leaking.
Booked it in for today and was just told that this was down to a blocked breather pressuring the diff
All fixed now, had only done 2k miles, fingers crossed no damage has been done

Does this only affect D3? Mine is a late D4

Hi I'm not sure, I know the D3's had a foam filter in the breather that failed with age, I would think that this would have been corrected by the D4, but worth checking

Would this help, ref part number, however I’m not 100% if it’s the D4 breather
Know it’s an overkill , but when I done mine I cut the old one off , fitted a plastic pushfit coupling then run it round the aux battery area

Only £16 at Rimmerbros for a genuine part. Just ordered - hopefully cures front diff weeping! Has this cured weeping for most people who have changed this valve? Wish I had appreciated how this could explain diff weeping before swapping out the driveshaft seals!

The blocked breather caused the diff to be pressurised and made a mess of my new diff, garage changed the breather and cleaned diff, all sorted

I did mine today, and was in the position shown in the write up. (56 Plate) When I cut it, I heard a release of air, which probably why my seals are weeping. When I blew into the cut off part nothing moved and was completely blocked. Lets hope this stops the weeping.
Cheers

Found this thread and shocked to find mine, from 2004 is original and I see front diff work in the history by approved and Indie LR Dealers, disappointing.
