Hi All,
I had oil leaking out from the propshaft oil seal on the rear diff. Took the propshaft off & found that the flange has excessive play. I then removed the oil level plug & found it covered in metallic gunk. Safe to say my diff is knackered, albeit quiet ie no whine coming from it.
Now am I right in saying all freelander 1 diff's are the same except the 2.5 V6 model? I think its the same unit on the petrol models & the TD4?
Next question how easy is it to rebuild? I see kits on fleabay for about £50-£60 for new bearings & seals etc. The fact my diff is quiet it might be suitable for a home rebuild kit.
Any advise welcome, thanks in advance
