UPDATE: Bell Engineering was unsuccessful in getting this diff shipped to Canada; apparently returned twice to Austen because the airport sniffer detected gasoline fumes (restricted item). Refund pending. Now I have two choices, rebuild or Land Rover dealership for a recon. The only reputable mechanic known to me willing to rebuild is on vaca until Oct 24th. What a fiasco but original diff is still holding on. Once the refund clears, I will make a decision........

I wonder if you need a specialist shipper for something like this? My son works for a company in Kenya and they often get stuff sent out like tractor parts and agricultural machinery which tend to go by sea in a shared container. There must be companies doing this for Canada.

That's an unfortunate outcome. Don't forget to thank Austin for trying. Good luck Paul |

Yes, it's likely an air vs sea issue......but, I don't know if I want to chance a slow boat from the UK! My diff is quieter in the colder weather here now but it could be a ticking time bomb.....
Already done......pity really, he actually machines the diff for larger bearings to extend it's longevity. I'll hang on until the 24th Oct hopefully or just get one from LR if that fails. |

I thought I would update my progress or lack of...........did get my refund from Paypal from Austen.........of course, Paypal hung onto it until the foreign exchange rate was favourable to them . I am still unable to find a reliable local mechanic with a favourable reputation to rebuild my rear diff so I came across a UK ebay seller that has assured me that they are able to ship to Canada I just made the purchase and they have indicated that they will be shipping on Thursday, fingers crossed this works out seamlessly. The seller's name is squashedblackgorilla (yeah I know....)and has 100% positive feedback. I also ordered a rebuild kit for the current diff as once I receive & install the reconditioned unit, my buddy and I are going to rebuild the original without a time constraint.

UPDATE: ETA re delivery is tomorrow, just prepaid the duty & taxes. The diff is currently in the US on the way here. Fingers crossed but it looks like this is happening! Now it was shipped TNT/Fedex. Will update once I receive it tomorrow. Dang, I quoted myself.............. |

Just picked up on this thread as I have noticed a slight whine from the rear of my 2012 SD4, it only seems to happen when pulling away from a standstill, could this be the diff?

From inside a moving Freel2 I don't think the pinion bearing can be distinguished from a wheel bearing.
