Land Rover Series 3 Lightweight Differential Swap

It is testament to the durable and simple construction of the mighty Land Rover that so many are still being used on the roads today and, luckily, when they do require servicing or repairs there are still a range of specialists providing all the parts necessary to keep those early Series models alive.

The owner of this great ex-military Series 3 Lightweight needed just that when the rear differential decided to give up the ghost. On closer inspection, it appeared the centre pin had snapped and caused some serious internal damage. 

For some models of classic vehicle this kind of repair could be a matter of life and death, but luckily Ashcroft Transmissions offer an exchange service for reconditioned Land Rover differential and transmissions. After a short wait, the new differential was fitted quickly and easily, ensuring this Series Land Rover could enjoy many more miles on the road.
