rear axle wear is a common fault with these models. Suggestion, contact a company called maxidrive, they reside on the Gold Coast. They produce replacement axles and drive flanges that are far better quality than the landrover parts,they will last forever and cost less than the original parts. Sorry I do not know the phone number, if you cannot find it call British Off Road, at Forrest Glen and ask to speak to Paxton, he will help you. Enjoy.
