It would seem that it's a combination of corrosion, due to it being a dry joint and it's sealed from the gearbox lubricants and from the angle drive whilst the seal between the box and angle drive unit is a simple face joint with no gasket, and a non hardened surface on the splines.

It never had a tow bar. When I look back I remember being stuck, unexpectedly, in mild snow etc during my early ownership which leads me to think I never had the 4x4 facility.

Failing that early would seem unusual based on what I have read. Especially if we consider it was pretty new and had never towed. Did you get it checked and fixed? |
