very interesting, my first thought was 'what diff oil? as GL5 will kill that set up' So i put a few example land rovers in the comma web site and they all seem to use GL4 so I was wrong

Very interesting, glad "pegging" is not needed on T2 diffs, Rick

Only needed when running big aggressive tyres 35" or more on the extreme end of off-roading.

Is it me or, did he video seem to suggest that the problem lay with the housing flexing? If so could the same thing not be achieved by strengthening the housing

yes it is just a crap diff design, no diff, housing or other should flex enough that it effects the mesh of the crown wheel and pinion, the Co that does the mods have done a good job but it should not be needed, Rick
