    Rear Differential rebuild kit for Disco 5??

    Thanks for the reply, I've talked to them several times about a complete differential but not about the rebuild process, if possible.

    Rear Differential rebuild kit for Disco 5??

    Yeah, totally get that. We have multiple independent, Land Rover only shops looking for other options as well.

    Rear Differential rebuild kit for Disco 5??

    Thanks for the response. We tried to get them to buy the vehicle from us but they offered us well below wholesale (it was almost laughable).

    D5 mystery rattle at idle

    Our '17 D5 has developed a rattle only when idling and out of park. We had the rear diff seal replaced at the dealer and ever since that was completed this rattle has started. Maybe a missing rubber damper on a heat shield, exhaust or skid plate? It's driving me crazy.
