Wow thats a shokker i would have thought there may have been some sign of oil if she was on her way out, hope its up and running far Easter

Just an update, had a closer look. Buggered up real good. Cracked the casing. Luckily found a Diff centre, looked at the data plate, if im reading it right, i need an 4.1:1. Although a bloke said ill need an LSD, but i thought they were only the GU????

Oh and cheers for the workshop manuals...i cant seem to find diff centre removal in it.

As far as i can understand its, wheels off, brakes off, tail shaft off, short axels out, diff centre out, anyone done this before and can run me thru a basic process???

Im an Aircraft mechanic by trade, so pretty cluey mechanically, but a bit lost when it comes to cars, i only know the basics

Nice job...
A lot of patrols came stock with rear lsd. Best on the market..
Not sure if yours is fitted. There could be a sticker on the diff still, I know mine is.. just jack rear axle and spin one wheel. The other will spin the same if its lsd.

If you have a case, you could probably fit the lsd into it, if in good knick.
and yes, asking as you have stock diffs, you'll need the 4.1-1

He can't spin it but.... The LSD will have like a clutch in the middle where as an open you will be able to just see gears. It could be a possibility but I haven't heard of any patrols being open in the rear they are all LSD.

Have a look at my build thread mate, there is a full group of pics from a rear diff pull down yesterday. It is very simple.

A GU centre will have a strong LSD in it. Those cracks in your 3rd member are crazy mate!!!

You might need rear axles too if the splines are knackered?? Certainly rear axle seals for sure

And you heard nothing ??? what the heck were you drinking..LOL

The only non-LSD rear diff, is the one with the factory Diff Lock...
