Product Description
This is an exchange differential assembly for the Land Rover Defender, fitted to the rear axle to distribute torque between the rear wheels. The unit is a heavy-duty 4-pin type with a 4-bolt flange and 24-spline shaft, designed for the Dana/Rover axle variants coded 18M and 23M. Differential failure typically presents as whining under load, clunking on drive engagement, or loss of drive, and incorrect specification replacement risks premature failure or incompatibility with the existing axle components.

- Supplied as an exchange unit - a surcharge-bearing core return will typically be required
- Correct specification for axle codes 18M and 23M; verify axle code before ordering
- Inspect half-shaft seals, bearings, and crown wheel and pinion condition when replacing this unit
