Rear diff oil leak
 

Hi, my D4 passed its mot yesterday which is great news. It also had an advisory on an oil leak from the rear diff. It appears to be from one of the driveshafts ( diff to wheel). Obviously this needs to be done asap. I’ve had a quote from a specialist, SR Miller in Standish, Wigan of £671. This entails removing the exhaust and the diff from the car and replacing both seals whilst it’s off. Millers seem to have a good reputation and much of the car’s servicing is from there.
Does this sound a fair price for the amount of work involved?
Opinions welcome, cheers Steve.

Sounds reasonable to me. Its a solid day's work, at least, to do all that +++

Thanks MJ, you'd know after all. Very helpful.

I live in Wigan and have no bad reports about Millers.
I use Eccleston MOT, but I've known them as personal friends for many years.

Hi Ray, thanks for the reply.
I bought the car from a lovely guy from Whelley. The car has reams of history and all from Millers whilst in his ownership.
He recommended Millers to me.
Thanks for your's and MJ's input, I'll be making an appointment with them today

Evening all. This bloomin' diff oil leak has returned which is not only inconvenient but also worrying as to why it should fail within 11 months and 3k miles of fitting. Still the specialists have offered to sort under warranty on Wednesday for which I'm relieved as it's not a cheap job. Fingers crossed it'll be ok after this.

Update for this: Big thanks to SR Miller Standish for sorting this at no cost to myself. The technician who dealt said that one of the seals was faulty and has been replaced. Fingers crossed.

Congrats.
Now relax and enjoy the ridew

Indeed! Thanks Ray.
