Grumbleing Discovery sorted ,and not with liver salts

[coachman]

Seasons greetings to you all .For a long time now I have had a rumbling /grumbling noise emitting from the rear of my Discovery 300 tdi .

I asked my usual spares supplier for advise ,ie, was it tyres ,bearigs ,axle ,etc .

I was answered with the typical ,savage intake of breath through the teeth and `let it develop lad `.

This `sound` had previously accompanied me to Plymouth and back ,and I needed to go again ( christmas delivery to grangchildren etc ).

So I checked all levels ,and havind recently sorted out my fuelling prob ( more later ) I set off .

All was fine I even cruised at 70 mph for a spell , then the rumbling turned into a more audible grumbling ,this was 100 mile from my destination ,mmm, at this I slowed down to a steadt 60 max ,with the wife saying ` your going a lot slower than normal ,` and me saying ` oh we are in good time I am just taking things steady ,( the wife is easily alarmed ).

I got to Plymouth and visited Brookwells and bought 4 wheel bearings and seals ( £7.00plus each )timken)

I set of back in the daylight ( in case of breakdown ) and again all was well untill Donnington ,when the wife says WHATS THAT NOISE ,sure enough a squeaking noise WAS coming from the rear ,I again nursed the car the last 100 mile (to Wakefield ).

Mondaay morning came around and ALL my friends were saying `its yer diff ` . I stripped out the half shaft and the rest can be seen in the photos .

Merry Christmas and a H appy New Year

By any chance would you happen to need two new stubs too???

When did you last service that? When was it last MoT'd? It's clearly been running dry for some time.

I think this is the one that took a swim???

WBs don't like swimming, this is the result I think
