Need new front diff

Any leads on where I could find a new front diff for my 2008 D3?

Tried Steve at AF but unfortunately he cannot help me.
Tried Island 4x4 but no feedback.

Any advice welcome!

That ^^ looks like a good price - but you need the Auto version TAG500140 which they are also advertising.

Yes their communication is not the best. I ordered a new rear prop from them last month and it was a week before they got back to me with the shipping code. Having said that when the order was completed it was delivered every quickly.

I got a quote from my indy for recon unit, but more expensive than LR direct new part (OEM quality).
And I know my indy loves to take the bad unit and check it.

Not a big fan of the Britpart own label product but this does say its original equipment so should be from the same source as LR
