depends on what you mean by substantial front output shaft is splined into center diff this will have play and be worn whether detrimentally is hard to say

are you sure its not the diffs?

most 10 spline diffs will wear the diff cage where the centre pin is pressed in. this is often a cause for clunk.

the pinion and crown wheel will have correct backlash, but the halfshafts will have lots of play into the diff itself.

not detrimental, just annoying.

only option is to work through everything, on a 200tdi there wil be lots of wear throughout the whole transmission by now.

my 200 disco has lots of play in the centre diff arrangment, my axle diffs were very clunky but have now been replaced.

clunks are standard on the older vehicles, i'd live with it until you have a spare few hundred quid
