Hi all - I'm replacing my 110 rear diff pan later today, although I've heard that it's not worth bothering with the new gasket as they don't really do a lot. Can anyone confirm this? I was toying with using some sort of silicon sealant.
Cheers!

i would use the gasket dry, but you can just use silicone

I'd prefer a gasket over no gasket every time

If it was me I would use a gasket, for what it costs (a quid or whatever), is it worth not using one and it leaking

Use a gasket, and it's worth it to buy some proper sealant like Hylomar. Silisnot is not reliable in contact with oil. Save it for caulking the bath.

You do get a special sealant for them land rover do have a part number for it. Its the same when you take a sump of it is mostly a form of instant gasket.
As said silicon is for sealing the shower it does not like being submerged in water or oil and will fall of straight away.

I buy a tube of it from the local motor factors it is just like a small tube of silicon sealant and costs about £6

i havent used gaskets before when i removed diffs always sealant and not had any leaks
