Hello to all,
This is my first post to this forum, and I need some advice please.
I have just bought a 110 which makes a loudish clunk when setting off. The clunk comes from the back end, and as far as I can tell there is a large amount of backlash on the diff. If I push the vehicle, rotating both of the back wheels, it takes a lot of movement before the diferential flange begins to turn. In contrast the front differential flange begins to turn almost immediately.
I am I right in thinking this a good indicator that the diff is knackered?
Also, I have been told that the Salisbury axle (which is fitted to mine, with disc brakes) is fitted to all 110's. Is this true?
I've seen a picture of a rear axle which is supposed to be off a 110, but it doesn't look the same as mine (removeable back plate). This was off a 2003 Defender 110.
All replies will be appreciated.
Hoping someone can shed some light on any or all of the above.
Best Regards,
Phil.
