This from the only write up I've seen says front diff and gearbox:

"...The other Bell Team Vehicross entry had in previous stages suffered from a broken gearbox and front differential. Garland therefore suggested that at the very least these obvious weak-points be replaced in his car. Further ignoring his advice the Bell team refuse to have these new parts fitted, and Garland subsequently set off in the same car that had left Paris.
Just 100 kilometres into Leg 8 the front diff exploded. The Vehicross limped along for another 30 kms in 2WD in the dunes getting bogged on numerous occasions. Soon after the right hand driveshaft gave up the ghost, forcing the Aussie into retirement."
