Not so long ago there was a TSB about leaking rear diffs - if it is still in force you might be due a free repair/replacement so try your dealership - IIRC it was for the e-diff. If you use the search function you will find the thread and the TSB reference number. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I had the same issue in January 2019 with my TDV8 ediff pinion seal at 32K miles. Was serviced 1 month before warranty ran out, they said they 'didn't notice it' but when it was in for first MOT a few weeks later, tester and I could could see it had been leaking for months. Was fixed FOC under warranty just!

It's not going to magically get better, is it? As the rear diff is active on Dynamics, I'd want to know it had the correct amount of the correct oil in it. If it's going to get done under warranty anyway, why delay? The dealership won't want to do the work because it's low profit ramp time - it prevents them from doing the high profit standard services. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

Funny that: mine went in for its 4th year service on Tuesday, and on a whim I told them the rear diff pinion seal is leaking although I had no evidence of this.

Mines booked in for 3 days mid next week - fingers crossed it gets fixed - together with the airbag light issue.

Had this issue as well a little past 50,000 miles. Had extended warranty so saved me $990. 2016 SCV8 Dynamic - Firenze Red/Pimento |

Had mine fixed 2 weeks ago - Stratstone Aylesbury did a great job - so much so that the car feels different - for the better. I know it was a simple seal replacement but somehow the car just feels better, more responsive, smoother, etc
