Evening all, iv popped out and noticed I seem to have a pin hole in the middle of my rear diff casing. Can I just weld it? a little plate? Will I need to drain it? Tia

Have heard of them getting a little thin and become porous. Is it a 90 or 110?
You can by a complete rear diff cover for the 90. it would still need welding in place.
If you decide to weld it, I would drain, pull the diff and see if it is really bad.

Then this may do you.

But it may also be easier and probably cheaper to fit a 2nd hand axle if you can find one.

Cheers geezer
Unless the whole axle is badly corroded don't go replacing it, you know the condition of your one and has had no problems for the time tou been driving it - in theory.
Drain the oil, cut off the old pan and weld on a replacement, take the diff out and block axle tubes to stop grinding crap going down the tubes, you then just have to clean out the centre part
