i broke my diff last night and i'm just having a tea break right now as i'm half way through geting the diff out.. a mates welding it for me tomorrow morning, so i'll be up lakeside tomorrow night
That's the wrong conclusion
I've been there and done it a few times
so when you start breaking driveshafts/cv joints and casings what you going to do then? fuck it off and buy another one 7.5" diffs are getting thin on the ground now and your looking at £300+ for a good one then you're gonna weld it again.
If you have an uprated diff you only need the CWP so you can sell the std LSD and casing
they don't break that often and the benifits of having a proper diff far far outweighs the possibility of paying for fixing it.
I wouldn't have a cossie without an uprated diff of some sort.
Goodluck at lakeside tomorrow
