If only on acceleration, more likely to be gear/transfer box than rear diff
Sorry, but i don't have much gear box knowledge to suggest where

check the condition of both gear box and transfer box ,you will have to drain some out to check properly,check prop ujs while under there first ,front diff can sound just like its coming from transferbox nearly caught me a few times

I though my gearbox had gone. As mentioned above... Took it to the garage and they diagnosed it as the front diff.

Further to my post above.
Anyone know of a good place to get a decent cheap diff ?

Cheap and decent don't always go hand in hand
often recon diffs on ebay, but couldn't say if they are any good - around the £175 mark
Otherwise you're looking a bearmach or allmakes recon- around £400 - they should be ok if decent bearings used, but can be hard to tell

Your right. I've seen this DISCOVERY/DEFENDER FRONT DIFF/DIFFERENTIAL | eBay
But no idea if its any good.
BTW. How do I know what spline mine is. Is the only way to take it apart and look ?

It will be 10 or 24 spline
Think older ones were 10, newer 24.
Don't know if microcat would help
Easiest way (for front CV) - just remove dust cap and count - unless i'm wrong about their being splines both ends
