disco-shane Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Hello everyone I have a small question I'm hoping one of you clever people can answer for me. I have a 1993 land rover discovery 200tdi (K100JER) and it just passed the mot however the rear diff whines and clunks. After having a look at breakers yards etc I have discovered there are 2 types. Does anyone know which one I should get or was it pot luck what land rover used???? I am no mechanic and it will be going to a fitter so I don't know how to check myself. (yes I know I'm supposed to be a man) Thanks in advance Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 The only way to be 100% sure, is to look, jack up one side of the axle, whip the wheel off and pull out the half-shaft. LR used all sorts around then as the 300tdi was along shortly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco-shane Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Bugger....was hoping for a definitive answer. Oh well looks like I'll have to pay the mechanics to do that then put it back together so I can pick up the diff then start again lol. Thanks for the reply.

Off Road Toad Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 All you need is a jack, a wheel brace and socket to undo 5 bolts! Don't pay a mechanic! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlechorus Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Likewise, its a 5 minute job! I am breaking my 1993 200tdi currently and that has 24 spline diffs and shafts throughout as some of the latest ones did, get the number of splines and a picture of the type of halfshaft end you have and go shopping.

disco-shane Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 I don't have a jack or a socket set lol.....if I had I may attempt it but buying the tools would cost more than paying to get it looked at. Thanks for the advice anyway guys you are all a helpful bunch on here ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snagger Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Jump in if I'm wrong, but to my understanding, if the hub drive flange is a single piece domed metal affair, it's 10 spline, and if it's a two piece metal star and plastic cone job, then it's 24.

landroversforever Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I'm sure 300tdi discos have single piece rear shafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 both 200 & 300 disco have one piece driveshafts/integral drive member Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off Road Toad Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 As do 300 tdi Defender 90"'s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Sorry, badly presented answer. I know the rear axle has an integrated shaft/flange arrangement, which is fairly flat on the 300, but the 300 front was a separate shaft and flange, like on Defenders and my 300 RRC. The 200 has integrates shafts/flanges on both axles, and the flange is a domed affair and has 10 spline diffs. The same is true for RRCs, and Defenders with the thigh drive flanges and longer plastic cones also have 10 spline Rover diffs (110s will have Salisbury rear).

If in doubt about the diff buy an exchange from Ashcrofts, makes life so much easier and nearly the same price as faffing around sometimes, ask me how I know this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landowner Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 My 'L' reg 200 tdi Discovery has 24 spline diffs, just took one out thinking it would be ten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 My 'L' reg 200 tdi Discovery has 24 spline diffs, just took one out thinking it would be ten L would make it around a late 93/94MY which would coincide with the change over period, my mate Paul has a 94MY German "Sunseeker" model that has 24 spline diffs too, mine is a 1992 and had 10 but now sports 24 as I upgraded them as S/H good 10 splines are hard to find but 24 splines are still plentiful. Also makes diff lock upgrades in the future easier and cheaper too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alland Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hi i now own this landy .
