Default rear diffs?

what diff does a 4x4 cosworth use? 7 or 7 1/2?

need to get a replacement 7" for the westy but want to know if the 4x4 cossy ones will fit as well as the xr4x4 ones

also how much would you expect to pay for one? and anyone got one they want to flog?

same diff as in XR4x4 (2.9) and you can pick up a complete car for about 50quid... much cheaper than paying Ł100+ on ebay for a "cosworth" diff ps theyre 3.62

the 2.0 XR4x4 (and 4x4 ghias etc. etc.) are also LSD but they use a shorter ratio 3.9 iirc

dont really want a short ratio although saying that, its probably what i have in there now the car tops out at about 140mph running a t5 and 16" rims

this sound like the 3.9?

is it on the case anywere?

oh and jim, cant find any cheap xr4x4 diffs at the mo, the ones on ebay all want about Ł80, although thats cheap enough i guess so i should stop being so dam tight

yes it did... again, same diff...

daren i didnt say buy the diff, i said buy the WHOLE CAR you can pick up a shitter for either FREE or <100quid and there are some goodies on there worth nickin just incase, or break it for a few quid... a lot of the partws are interchangeable with cosworth so they fetcha few ŁŁŁ on ebay...

youre welcome to my diff, it dont whine, but i think the VC needs an overhaul, coz it often spins only one wheel

as i'm getting my replacement diff (out of a 2.9 XR4x4... lol) fitted ASAP
