ziplex Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 (edited) Had the news I was dreading today when a local 4 x 4 independant had a look at the FL2 and confirmed the rear diff' is on it's way out. Not happy as it's an expensive fix but i've been told by one LR dealer there are potentially two types of diff' for the 07 model I have, whereas the other LR dealer seems to think there is only one?! and there's a difference in price of approx' £400 Anyone in the know, LB are you still alive?

firdom Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Why don't you get on to LR customer services as it can only just be out of warranty you never know they may be kind if it's a known fault thats what i would try also try http://www.freel2.com/forum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may try customer assistance but I expect there maybe someone on here who knows more than they do One LR dealer I rang earlier could only give me the price to fit the damn thing, I had to go through to 'parts' to get the unit price....then do me maths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
