2.8 rear diff leaking by Mossey on Thu Aug 07, 2008 11:59 am
I have just noticed that the rear diff on my 2.8 is leaking, judjing by the look of it I will have to replace it.
Does anyone have one they could sell or would a trooper diff cover fit as I'm sure there are a few in a breaker near me???

If the cover is rotten, can't you just replace it?

Depends on the state of it, if its porous then its a new one, if its punctured a good welder can sort it. Stand to be corrected, but I think in general the trooper diff is different.

That may be my next step, as far as welding goes i'm fairly good when there is enough metal to weld to but miracles usually are not my forte.
I was hoping someone would have a spare that I could just swap over.

Should do. The only thing I could think of that might be different is the brake bias valve bracket, but that only bolts onto the studs that are securing the cover anyway. So would imagine all the covers are the same.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

Sorry, but the 2.8 is unique, it wont fit. As for welders, no sorry :dance: will watch from distance if you get pulled Sunday :twisted:

Trooper deffo different, if its the seal leaking it can be resealed, but likely it will need replacing, looking around £60 these day main deal, it aint worth getting second hand.
