As per title.

You can get them Granada diffs that are 3.36, but if the ones above actually exists, thats even bloody longer gearing...

On the 2.3 diesels is it Doo?

I now also hear there were the same ratio ones on 2.5TD granadas?

And that they also stronger than normal sierra diffs (so just presume 7.5in rather than 7in).

Also read that there was 9in diffs on some Granadas, but im sure thats just bullshat, isnt it?

Appreciate anyone who can shed light on this subject

Bloody stupid PF pic resizer, good job saving them brings em back to normal size.

So some 1.6 petrols had a 3.14 diff?

Which ones?

Would that be the early 4speed models?

If its 4speed it makes sence as they got one less gear?

And ALL 2.3s? (diesel and petrol?)

Anyone know?

Its all very confusing

As far as I can make out, it was early diesels with a direct top gear.
They are so rare nowadays
All the bike engined car guys want them because the primary reduction between engine and box leaves them low-geared.
