To 1daymaybe,

Just watch the viscous coupling on the propshaft as these are prone to tighten up, knocking out the transfer box or the rear diff. If it is faulty and you dont replace it, the same thing can happen again to your new units.

HI 1DAYMAYBE.
The transferbox is also known as an IRD unit.The viscous is situated on the rear propshaft and acts as a differential between the front and rear.
They tend to tighten up and put stress on the next component in line such as the transferbox or the rear diff.Its worth the £250.00 (plus vat) extra if it is suspect because if it causes failure of the new unit, warranty claims can be difficult.
Kind regards,
Allan from LEGS.
