Could be a failure in a diff, a CV joint, a snapped half shaft or even one of the drive flanges. With one front wheel jacked up, turn the wheel by hand and see if you hear any grinding noises. Darren

Oh dear, front diff. Unusual on a TD5 90 but that'll be no comfort. There are many upgrade options if you're so inclined, and cheaper than new genuine parts. |

A common issue with front Rover diffs are the crown wheel bolts loosening and consequently shearing.

Yup, happened to mine (2000MY 110) as well, just as described. I was convinced it was a transfer case issue. Simple fix in the end. One bolt |

I too thought it was the transfer case first, so I ended up rebuilding that too. I even drove a couple of weeks with the front drive shaft only during which time nothing special happened, so the logical conclusion was that it was the TC's diff. I was almost disappointed when it turned to be OK.

Ashcroft ATB is an obvious upgrade and cheaper than a genuine LR diff, and much stronger than the original 2-gear diff. |
