Hey I think I have a set of spider gears for a D 30.  If I find them do you want them?

Just goes to show you should always have second thoughts before rescuing a Landie  :-)


Bit of a bummer to do that whilst doing a good turn though isn't it, hope you get it fixed soon. I've heard a bloke can go mad suffering Jeep withdrawl symptoms!

Washed out the axle casing and still no reason for the failure maybe just a weak gear i suppose. They wern't new gears they were used from my old diff carrier it was just the ring and pinion that were replaced and they don't seem to have any damage on them so it aint all bad.
