Being a Freelander I reckon you'll find a fricton motor, like them push along cars

Almost certainly!Are all 38a owners nobheads then
Having a sense of humour has to be the biggest asset a LR owner can have, god knows we need one to get through the trials it throws at us.

surely just planetary gears and bushes is the answer you want

No, the planetary gears are in the IRD unit which connects to this output shaft. The hole in the middle is where the front on-side drive shaft passes through from the IRD. Weird way of doing it but it saved space I guess.
I don't know the answer to your question Tank, but I would guess that a main support bearing would be the most likely candidate.

If, by diff carrier, you mean the IRD then the answer is yes it can cause vibration if it is knackered. It is a well known failure on the Freelander and a quick search on here for IRD will reveal all. I hope you haven't stripped your gearbox for nothing as the IRD is a separate assembly.
No I meant whats inside the actual diff itself. Thankfully I no the IRD isnt causing the vibration because it was changed recently along with the viscous coupling
What would happen if I fitted a box with a very slightly higher final drive ratio, presume it would still drive ok which is the main thing?

Make sure you only buy a Freelander PG1 as the other types (Rover cars) will not fit your IRD input spline.
A diesel unit would work on a petrol vehicle and vice versa.
