2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 HT Epsom Green

differential guard question

I want to order diff guards for my 2014 90.
Are the front and rear diff still the same?
The info I find about this is confusing.
What changed from 2002 onwards?
The diffs look the same to me when i'm under the car?
So ca two identical rover diff guards fit the front and the rear on my new 90???

thx!

The change in 2002 was for 110 and 130 axles which are heavy duty. As far as I know, the 90 uses the same axle front and rear, and always has, so buying two diff guards for a 90 should be simple. 1998 110 300Tdi White Hard Top

My advice, based on experience, would be put plenty of grease on the threads. They are a sod to get off later if you dont!

The Terrafirma front guard for your car is a great piece of kit, but at present the rear isn't the same design, so I'm guessing a different supplier.

The paint is a luxury I know and will get damaged.
I've had them on for a year now and they've don't their job as there is the odd bang they've taken and I haven't really been off toad with them either!
Easy enough to touch the paint up, little artists brush with a model enamel 14ml paint pot of gloss black and any marks are rapidly covered up in seconds for pennies.
Not that anyone goes around checking diff guard paint, although some of us that are a bit whacky would.
