got a problerm peep's

[magnum force]

3 hours before i'm due to lead a group night laining in the Derbyshire peaks i have found the rear diff is leaking AGAIN!!!
This is the 3rd time its happened and it will be 3 times i will have had to change the seals and bearings to the shaft. All this has happened with in 4 months. I cant get my head round it, so, to questions..
Is Milners supplying crap oil seal's??
Or...
is the shaft worn at the point were it spins round in the seal??
The last question i need an answer to please is, will the spleens on the shaft on a 2.4 be the same as on my 3.??
if so i can put my hands on one. Easier than swapping the hole diff cos i would have to swap the front one to match.
Anyone with answers please help.
Cheers! Frustrated Magnum

Same part number according to the EPC as long as you don't have ABS.

If spleens = splines.....then like Nev said, and check if the replacement is the same and not the LSD version (and no, not the narcotic)

Now then mudsurfer, just realized mine is LSD. That said, i have counted up the splines (corrected) and they both have 30 and the shaft is the same length and thickness. So at that then they are the same. Cant do any more now till Yota ring to say the seal is in, which wount be till early next week now.
