"I have an inside contact at Land Rover in the UK who tells me that from the
02/06/2008 L/R are going to write to L322 owners to offer a 'reassurance'
re-build of the infamous front diff, they have developed a kit which in
effect turns the diff into the new type 06 onwards vehicles.

They will be writing to owners to offer this service free of charge which
takes 4-5 hours in stages to avoid swamping Land Rover dealerships with the
estimate 35000 affected vehicles.

I would suggest that owners make sure that they are registered as current
owners with their respective dealers.

Anyway, I thought this info would be useful to you, not so useful to
Britpart and Atlantic British who have developed an aftermarket kit!"

Note this is a copy and paste from the forum, I though it would be of
interest in these parts too :-)

Wonder if they'll refund all the poor f.ckers that had to pay for it?

Yeah , not a cheap do either.

I have to say it's been my biggest fear for the vehicle. The choice is run
the risk or fit aftermarket kit that doesn't actually allow the correct
setting of the crush spacer and ultimately may lead to a knackered bearing
in the diff input pinion.

I'm hoping this is true!

My previous L322 had 76000 on the clock (or something close) when I shifted
it, and that was a 4.4 petrol and I *DO NOT* have a light foot. It was
offroaded, drowned, covered in mud, driven like it was stolen and it didn't
fail while I had it.....of course it might have been replaced before I
bought it ;-)

New one is, well bought from new, and a 2006 variant with the new bit - and
that's holding up well at 40,000 miles :>

Take care
