Description
We use the term ‘Rover’ diff for all diffs fitted to the Landrover 90, 110 front diff, Discovery 1 and Discovery 2 diffs, also known as ‘long nose’ diffs.
When we rebuild a diff they all have four new taper roller bearings, new oil seal and all have a new drive flange, the ring and pinions are inspected for wear and damage and if they pass they are reused if not, new are fitted.
We only use quality parts, the new bearings are all Timken brand and the oil seals are made by Corteco.
The rover type diff comes in 10 or 24 spline, 3 or 4 bolt drive flange, the 3 bolt flange model was used on the later RRC and D1 rear and all D2 rears, 3.54 ratio and imperial or metric, please specify either the landrover part number or vehicle type and year when ordering.

For the Series Vehicle
Due to the poor quality of the Aftermarket Series Ring and Pinions we fit our Series diffs with our HD 4.75 Rear Ring and Pinion. If you are just replacing one diff this will result in a very slight difference between your two diffs. This is not a problem unless you are in 4 wheel drive on a high traction surface ie on the road which you shouldnt be really.
Please note that Series Vehicle and Range Rover Classic vehicles, pre 1983, have oil filler plugs in the diff housing, rather than the axle housing. If you need a oil filler plug on your rebuilt diff please make us aware of this in comments box that will arise during the order process.

What a differential comes with
John Leadley –
With a 49 year old Rover P5b in desperate need of a new differential I was worried as to the availability of a compatible replacement. I need not have worried. Ashcroft were able to supply the almost identical differential for the Range Rover Classic from the same era, with Dave Ashcroft arranging a modification to the casing to facilitate rear axle oil fill from the differential (no filling from the rear axle on my model). The website is easy to use and the admin team of Hosanna, Sophie, and Molly provide top quality service with support throughout and the refund for my returned original differential processed within minutes of receipt. Top quality service from start to finish and the replacement differential is silent and clunk free. Could not have hoped for better. Highly recommended.

Fitted easily and runs very quietly indeed. Well packaged and good communication from Dave and team, when I had a query.
Very pleased with the result.
