I have an 2011 LR2 and only 1 repair since owning it new. Clip on AC vent fell off.

 

Sell them! I just got hit with the dreaded rear differential failure with my 2008 LR2 HSE. At 69k miles this is unbelievable to me that my wife's street driven LR2 differential has a bearing failure at 69k.
$1800 in parts and labor it'll be done on Monday.
I guess they're getting a lot of practice fixing this because I've seen people post up to 5k for the repair when people started hitting 60-80k miles.

I'm 42 and this is the first car that I've ever even heard of that's had a rear differential fail under 200k miles if at all. I'm pissed
This should be a recall! My god damn rotors lasted longer than the differential that's just unbelievable.

When did the differential become a wear item?

My 2010 failed at 29K. Fortunately for me it was on warranty.

 

What failed?

 

Rear differential.

 

For the person who had the Rear differential go. Was it really the Rear differential or was it the differential actuator motor internal gear?

The reason I asked is that I thought the LR2 had the BMW Transmission and differential and I helped my brother replace the gear in his BMW, it took about 2 hours and only cost $70.00
