Evening all,
Been a bit of a crap few weeks if i'm honest.
Clutch started slipping within a few miles of turbo install, new competition clutch put that to rest.
now my LSD i got from an ebayer has shit itself with no prior warning after 400 miles, not blaming anyone as the diff worked perfectly fine up until yesterday so its just one of those things i guess.
i drained the diff and there were a few chunks of metal stuck to the drain plug, so i've refitted the original open diff to get her moving again in the meantime.]
With regard to the diff, is it a bin job or can it be saved?
The trouble with buying used diff's on ebay is every single one is "perfect working conition" but really its a bit of a gamble..
So is it worth looking into getting the diff looked at by a pro? the main crown wheel and pinion both look fine, but without further stripping i cant say where the bits of metal have actually come from....
I'm just a bit reluctant to go down the road of ponying up another £250 for an unknown diff.
