My land rover rear axel is demised - so says the garage.

They reckon £150 to fit a replacement but I'll need to find the second hand part.

So how much do you reckon I can get a second hand rear axel for? It's been leaking from the diff casing appears to have rusted through.

It's a 300tdi L plate.

Only other option is to sell it as is, it's run really well etc apart from this so may be good for spares for some one.

To make it even worse had to drive a bloody renult megane all weekend horrid car with a silly rear!!
 
get yourself on Eblag. axles on there go cheap fairly often. even if you get it replaced and then sell on. gotta be better than selling for parts?

I'm in New MIlls, High peak.

I've seen a complete axel for £85 quid on e-bay. Only problem is getting the thing, spose it'll have to be a courier, uneless there's one local.
 
I hoped to find one local, limp out in the disco dump it in the back and crawl back to the garage with it.

Some how I don't think I'll be that lucky!

Don't pay a Garage. all you need to do it yourself if a pair of axle stands, A trolley Jack and a half decent toolkit.
 
why not buy a new diff pan and have it welded on, did this on mine, cost £32 for the pan and 2 hours to cut off the old one and grind it back to bear metal then mig weld the new one on. No need to remove the axle or the diff(just pack cloths around eveywhere to stop metal filings from going into the diff)
 
I got a blurry good axle from flea-bay for £41.
then I got free delivery from Liverpool to Cornwall (via N. Wales and Yam Yam land). :D :D
 
ere we could have had a LZ axle....we shud have scratched our names int his paintwork
 
Can't weld so cutting out the old diff pan isn't an option.

It just seams liek a big job to do outside and just not 100% sure I could do it myself with just the o/h helping. Althougfh I'd rather do it than pay someone.

It'll involve all wheels off and alsorts though won't it.

£41 sounds like a price I'd pay though!
