I was out for a drive the other day and when i pull away from a stop there is a loud Bang and no drive i get out and oil is running out from the diff.
Got the car on the lift and i can see That the diff pinion has snapt off!
Going to remove the diff lump today to see what else is damaged.
Does anybody know where i can get spares probably need new pinion and ringgear and seals and bearings.

Cheers Alex

If it's a GKN - there are no spares,I had to buy a second hand diff and have the two rebuilt into one (two teeth 'broke' off my pinion).

If it's a BTR you're probably okay....

If anyone finds the bits to rebuild a GKN diff please drop me a line with details so I can get some too.
I still have my old GKN diff which has a broken pinion tooth and would love to rebuild it if I could get the bits.

I've got a good one the owner wants to sell Ian, as well as an old spare if you only want bits.
