i have a 2001 freelander and i think that the diff is on its way out, i am geting slight knocking and vibration when i go round corners over 30mph. my question is, do i need to sort this out asap, or is it somethig that i can hold off for a little while. or is it something completly different. any help and information will be much appreciated

thanks

When diffs go they normally make a **** load of noise when loaded and on over run, ie give it gas at a speed and let it off it should grinds and moan like fook.

Your fault sounds like a shaft.

Is it just me, or is that post mildly offensive?

i have read through what i said, and i understand that it may have come across in the wrong way. i can assure you my intensions were to thank the boys for there comments. and not to sound like an arse hole.
