Frequently asked questions

What is the DA1044 differential pan cover and what does it do?
The DA1044 is a weld-in replacement pan cover for the rear axle differential housing, with an integral filler and level plug. It welds onto the diff casing to enclose the crownwheel and pinion and retain the axle oil. The plug sits below the diff centre so the oil level can be checked and topped up.
Which Land Rovers does this differential cover fit?
This differential cover fits Rover-type rear axles on the Defender (up to 2016), Discovery 1 (1989-1998), and Range Rover Classic (up to 1994). It suits axles where the filler plug sits below the centre line. Confirm your axle type and filler position before ordering.
Why would I need to replace the differential pan cover?
The differential pan cover is typically replaced when the original has rusted through or been damaged by off-road impacts, causing axle oil leaks. On older Land Rover axles the pressed steel cover corrodes over time. A new cover restores a sealed housing that holds the crownwheel and pinion oil.
How is this differential cover fitted?
This differential cover is a weld-in part, so fitting requires welding equipment and is typically a workshop or experienced-DIY job. The old cover is cut or ground off and the new one welded onto the differential casing. It isn't a bolt-on cover. Refill with the correct axle oil afterwards.
What do the LR150 and BA 121C codes relate to?
LR150 and BA 121C are alternative cross-reference codes for this differential pan cover, listed alongside part numbers DA1044 and GA1044. If your old part or records show either code, this weld-in cover is the matching replacement for Rover-type rear axles with the filler plug below centre.
