I have a S3 with a 300TDI/R380/LT230 from a 95 disco.

Last year I fitted a recon transfer case which was great for a while but quickly developed a lot of backlash in the diff. Front front prop shaft makes a awful noise on overrun and light throttle, esp on the motorway. The problem disappears if I engage the diff lock. So, I’m pretty convinced it’s the centre diff.

Is there a way to adjust the centre diff to eliminate the backlash?

Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks for that.
I have subsequently watched some videos on YT an came to that conclusion.
Given that it was recon'd box & ok for a short while I wonder if the 8 bolts holding the diff together may have worked loose. It looks like I can't get to these by removing the sump so it'll need to go on the bench anyway.
With the parts to hand it looks like it should be do-able in a day.
Thanks.
