Well just ordered the rear diff for my 2005 lr3 2,400 hope this takes care of the roaring noise !

 

Did you diagnose this yourself or have a real professional LR technician diagnosed it?

 

Try to stay away from dealer as much as possible . But use a shop that does nothing but drive shafts and rear ends .

 

How did the diff fail in such a young vehicle?

 

Diff failures are quite common on the LR3. Its due to two things: (1) the internal coating on the diff housing flaking off and the flakes finding their way into the bearings and ruining them and (2) moisture finding its way into the diff housing and rusting out the bearings. Both are preventable by changing your diff fluids once a year vs the ones every 50K or 75K Land Rover recommends. Both the front and rear diff are prone to this, but more seem to happen on the rear than the front

 

replaced the rear diff. And as we thought the front one is bad to so now im looking at around 1200 for a front diff

 

So instead of getting a professional to diagnose it you did it yourself and now you failed in the diag.

Sure hope it wasn't a wheelbearing causing all your problems.

 

Did the wheel bearing left and right last month

 

So when the air suspension develops a fault are going to put four new bags in it one month, a compressor next time, and then four sensors, followed by a few valves and finally an ecu cause its more satisfying to know you stayed away from the professionals despite the cost.

You see something as simple as a test drive with a shop foreman and a simple inspection of the vehicle for less then a half an hour would have garnered the same fix for alot less. But hey, I am just a simple technician, Its nobody's business if you cut your nose to spite your face.

 

Had car towed to dealer to find out front end noise . Dealer called today and said we think noise is coming from the transfer case . Price to fix 3,800 . They still can not tell if the front dif is bad . So dealer is no better than my local shop . So more parts ...
