I believe that there is no Land Rover without diff or half shaft blown through years of usage. It is quite regular for the owner who starts driving that vehicle off-road. Some time ago this truck (Land Rover 110 2.5 TD) got stuck in deep snow away in the mountains. The first test there showed that difflock was working well. When engaged into the gear the front propshaft was spinning but there was no drive in front axle … neither one wheel was turning while on ground … the fault was there. We were concerned that one drive member (flange) have lost splines so that shaft turn inside it but that wasn’t the case. A few days later we came to recover the truck and managed to drive 200 km long distance to home using its rear drive only with diff lock engaged. There was no need to detach the front propshaft because no noise was heard from front axle so no further damage was expected. At home, front drive is tested with jacking one wheel at a time (truck not running diff lock in and handbrake on) … normally we should not be able to turn the jacked wheel. But RH wheel was turning what proved that the half shaft or diff was wrong.
RH side was taken apart first and halfshaft pulled out … here are the details:

It was nice to see the dog & bird, I wonder did you have much play in the half-shaft before it broke
Momak za sve , čak i automehaničar , bravo , čestitam Pavle!
Nice job, I really enjoyed the mood set by the music, the animals and the environment, it must feel fulfilling to finish such kind of a job
have a 1991 Defender Diesel 2.5 and she has Not been started in sixt years, she is outside what is your advice to me before I try and fire her up…? Should I try and get her to turn over by hand first before I turn her over on the Battery? I am afraid I will destroy the Piston Rings I need advice Please…………………………………………………………………………..
Thank you for your video. I want to take my rear diff out of my Range Rover classic so this will give me an idea of how to remove the axle shafts
thank you very helpful video plus great music! next time can we see more of the dog. 🙂
Great Tutorial! Im embarking on this same journey soon as I broke an axle today on my 110☹️
nice repair and i could even smell the diff oil !! really hard work getting a diff out on your own !! and as you say , get afew other things done so it keeps going another 20 years … cheers and best wishes from scotland ..
bome ima tu posla, mislim da se ne bi odvažio na tako nešto. Moj domet su davno bile getribe na fićeku i renaultu 4. Danas uglavnom getribe na biciklu. Već odavno maštam o nekom terencu ali me upravo ovakvi događaji odvraćaju od kupovine neke lade nive ili nekog kratkog starijeg lendića.
Svaka čast, samo treba to sve i sastaviti…
Handy hand, speed and can ride on the car. Have a nice day .PF 2018
Happy new year. all the best to you and your family. thank you for the your amazing video clips.
Big operation! Wow.. ..have you ever seen that shaft on a dacia duster? It's less than half that!
All the best for next year!
Happiness and good health to you in 2018 my friend.
While not a fan of busted knuckles and greasy hands there is a satisfaction to being able to repair your own equipment. This was a big job and a great opportunity as you said to refresh the front end so it can carry you on another 20 years of adventures! Best wishes for the new year and beyond. Hope the young man has been taught the mechanical skills, I know my son has come to despise doing mechanical, but knows it is within his abilities and does not hesitate to save the money by doing what is necessary. The bird says you done good!! lol
Well, I'm glad to see the oil is finally wiped from your hands and that you are now pleased with the results. I'm sure that Bully was pleased to have a little more attention too. I hope you have no more troubles with that usually reliable Land Rover and that it will get to your mountain some time soon. Good luck and pleasant travelling in the new year.
