Rear diff
#5
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

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

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.
