DIFF. DIFFICULTY

Does anyone know where I could get my diff reassembled & set up? I've got a new crownwheel & pinion set & don't want to do the job by eye. All the firms i've phoned say they send them away, so somewhere there must be a workshop full of diffs & an overworked bloke with a puller & dial gauge just waiting for some pain in the like me to ring!

If you know this bloke, please let me know & spare an innocent diff a tragic end.

Thanks for info, Bumpkin. I've also been told of an outfit called Crown Diffs which looks interesting from their website, so maybe things are not as bad as they seemed! Just needed to look further afield.

Bumpkin. Crown Diffs sorted me. I can recommend them & the 1:2.83 conversion. At 60 mph (topless) the only noise is wind & a slight exhaust burble. I remembered the need to be careful not to overheat the new diff as it slid past 75. A quiet Landrover? No, it can't be! I'm delighted. Not so pleased about the water comsumption....half a litre in 26 miles!!! No visible leaks, no gunge in water - a real Paul Daniels job. Must be internal corrosion, possibly in heads. SO.....has anyone just spent a fortune doing up a V8, then decided to go diesel and want to get rid? Thought not, I'm the only mug in town. But I'm not addicted, you know. I could give it up anytime......but just one more engine & I swear it will be fine.
