i have a diff in the garage,it has just started making a noise when you pull away (fastish) if you drive normally it is fine,i had it on for a couple of weeks like this,and was ok...

all depends on how you drive i suppose as to wether its worth you farting about putting it on...

Mum always bought her cars there and they seemed ok untill they failed to spot the nikasil problem on her 3 series (despite doing all the services for 60k) and we never went back.

I'm 24, I saw you were in saffron from one of your other posts, got a memory for odd shit like that, no-idea who you are
