Frequently asked questions

What is the DA1043 differential pan cover?
The DA1043 is a weld-in differential pan cover with an integral filler plug, used to repair the front differential housing. It replaces the pressed pan section of a damaged or corroded front differential casing, and the built-in filler plug lets the oil level be checked and topped up without removing the cover.
Which axles and models does this cover fit?
The DA1043 fits the tilted Rover-type front axle on the Land Rover Defender 1983-2006, Discovery 1 (1989-1998) and Range Rover Classic, where the filler plug sits near the centre. It's not suitable for Series axles, Discovery 2, or Range Rover P38 and L322, which use a different axle.
How is the differential pan cover fitted?
The DA1043 is a weld-in repair cover, so fitting is a specialist welding job rather than a bolt-on. The damaged pan section is cut out and the new cover welded in place, then the differential is refilled through the integral filler plug. Have the oil drained before starting.
