Confirmed today that my 110 Utility with heavy duty suspension has light duty 2 pin diffs. When I ordered the vehicle I was not given a choice between 2 or 4 pin diffs. Clearly the 2 pin is not strong enough for a loaded 110 thats used off road as a work vehicle. I am waiting for LR to advise me as to what they intend to do to fix the problem.

I also have a new 110 XS CSW waiting to be collected. I have asked the question 'So what diffs are in the new one then guess what they don't know I will take delivery of the new vehicle on the understanding that 4 pin diffs will be fitted if its found that 2 pins have been installed originally.

Dave,

where would you recommend getting the 4 pins from~? i dont suppose you stock them do you?

Slightly OT but no underdirve cables in yet?

Thanks Dave, thats the thing though I won't be fobbed off! Somuch so I have here a letter from land rover with a report on my vehicle. On one of the 6 major points I complain about he (the engineer form lr) said the diff whine is quite normal. I will scan it at work on Monday.

I also have driveline clonk in my Puma, but I wouldn't call it slight. The Land Rover technical chap says this is also normal, even to the point of saying "it's characteristic of the marque sir". I'm still persuing the issue, but LR have thrown it back at the dealer saying my complaint/contract is with them. I can't help thinking that LR have a number of problems they don't want to fix!

Ill admit mine is slight - but i dont think (see all the issues i know there are with this) it will cure itself!!!!!

Just joined the forum - this is all very interesting (read: potentially worrying...).

I've also got drive-line clonk. More than slight, I'd say, but not sounding anything like terminal, so again, i assume the dealer will use the 'feature not a fault' line. The demonstrator that I drove back in March had the same issue, as did the TD5 that I bought instead - but that's another story...

Be interesting to hear from anyone who's succeeded in getting this accepted as a fault and rectified
