2.5td Defender Front Axle Casing (Sheffield)

[jimbobhorton]

Cracked my front diff pan. Am after a replacement axle casing so I can get it painted up and just do a swap over one weekend.

Am looking around a few places, but doesn't seem to be a popular thing to be going cheap.

Cheers.

If aint to badly deformed, isnt it posable to run a weld up the crack??

No equip or welding skills, plus the pan is well hammered. Fully bodged it with chemical weld, and has held for a few weeks now. Was just after a 'new' casing so I can get it all preped so I can just swap it over. That way I can get the original one welded up with a new pan and have a spare. Saves the whole taking it off, dropping it of to get welded, picking it up the next weekend scenario.

Guess I should have fitted the diff guards I got 2 years ago that are still sat in the 'to do' pile!!!

Doh!

If you fancied a drive (isn't 'that' far).... I know of a complete front axle going cheap - would strip it just for the casing for you, but haven't time - and can't really be bothered.:rolleyes: - space needed.

Located Nr Nuneaton.

Appreciate the offer mate, but seems a bit too much of an effort to justify it.

Looks like I'll just take him out of action for a week and get a new pan welded on.

Cheers though.
