Oh, so the output of the transfer case to the rear is offset too? That would explain it. Thanks.

I used to have a Rover 2000TC and I'm pretty sure that the diff on that was central and had inboard disc brakes which were bastards to reach without using a ramp.

That's a car. I'm talking 4WD Rovers...like the Discovery...that's all we have here on this side of the pond.

Yup, a series 2 (not even 2a) Land Rover.
* the gear between the halfshaft and the rear axles disintegrated. Even the mechanics commented on the noise as that entered the workshop :)

Transfer case idler, right ?
Yeah they beefed the shaft they ran on up in 2a and later.

Apologies for the crap description, due to tiredness and a 25 year gap :)
It was the rear differential gear, that "splits" and "turns" the power through 90 degrees, and allows the rear wheels to rotate at different speeds.
Can't blame the Land Rover in my case: the 4.2l Perkins diesel engine was far more powerful with far more torque :)

Gotcha.
They're inside the diff crown-wheel carrier and called bevel or spider gears.
Yep and they beefed them up too, for 2a maybe but definitely in Series 3.

Can anyone explain to me why Rovers typically have an offset rear differential? In other words the rear gear is offset to the left when view from the rear rather than in the center which is usual for other RWD vehicles.

It starts at the transfer case where after the gearbox mainshaft output (on the vehicle C/L) is relayed via an intermediate idler to the output shaft so takes the driveline output far from the center line of a Rover.
Pretty simple really. :)

Yep, the UJ's need be kept straight, well in one axis anyway. ;)

You missed out on the best bits of Rover then.
