There has been a slight oil weep from the transfer box since the day I had the Defender. It looked to be coming from the intermediate shaft/case as is common so I wasn't overly rushed to look at it.

Transfer box is back in the Defender. Serious improvement in terms of backlash and leak free!

Hank, do you think it was the Ashcroft rebuild kit, output shaft or both, that really reduced the backlash? The rebuild kit is quite a job, whereas the output shaft is a common upgrade I’m thinking of DIYing. |

The breakdown of the centre diff thrust washers will have resulted in a lot of backlash in this box. |

As black wolf says the backlash was, without a doubt, coming from the lack of washers in the diff planetary gears which would have allowed the planetary gears to run further "out" (for want of a better term) where they wouldn't mesh properly due to being bevel gears.

Recently I've been experiencing the occasional "P0234-00 (28 ) turbo overboost condition" error which puts the vehicle into what feels like normally aspirated / limp mode until the fault is cleared.

Nicely done. You'll be surprised how much oil it catches. WARNING.

Yeah? I've put a length of opaque pipe on the waste as a temporary measure but will fit a transparent hose and tap arrangement when I get one so I can monitor the waste oil level > 110 XS Double Cab

And the final piece of the provent puzzle... Waste drain and tap plumbed to behind the front offside radius arm mounting, retained by a hose clip in an existing hole
