The Discovery 3 and 4 and the Sport L320 rear electronic locking diff is a known failure; the Defender Rover diff breaks shafts before it breaks gears. Everything here says what it is rated for and what it is not. The Discovery 2 is the Td5 era, with self levelling rear air on some cars and ACE active roll control on others, and both matter when you order suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification and fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Discovery 2, chassis code L318\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: Td5 diesel and 4.0 V8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction dates: 1998 to 2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality: Standard or Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: cross referenced to the factory part number for your VIN and confirmed before dispatch, because supersessions on these vehicles are frequent and one printed number would be wrong for somebody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe failure this addresses: broken centre pins and cross shafts on a Rover axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabour time: about 4 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoding: none.

Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich version to buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard is the standard specification, which is what most vehicles need and what we would quote unless you told us otherwise. Heavy Duty is the heavy duty specification for expedition, towing and commercial use, rated beyond the factory figures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Solihull Spares","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":54809447760205,"sku":"SLS-DIF-020-S","price":699.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Heavy Duty","offer_id":54809447792973,"sku":"SLS-DIF-020-HD","price":829.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/6247\/2269\/files\/Discovery_2_Heavy_Duty_Differential_98f06e74-09de-4563-aaa5-7d8cb08f3c5f.jpg?v=1790171061","url":"https:\/\/solihullspares.com\/products\/discovery-2-heavy-duty-differential","provider":"Solihull Spares","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
