Knacked diff -

Need sierra diff with flanges for lobro type cv joint , like xr4x4 (not tripode)

No idea what this means (been told what I need/ to ask for)

LeMans in 1.5weeks!!! <gulp>

Got a 3.62 LSD in the garage you're welcome to borrow (or make me a reasonable offer to buy) to get you out of a squeeze....drive shaft nuts appear to have seized in position, though....

It's not in great cosmetic condition (was outside for quite a while but in garage now) but seems OK..no backlash or anything

I've got a 3.62 LSD you can borrow.
It's bolt on shafts like the pic above but slightly cleaner
Not selling as such, it's a spare just in case, but beings as your a local yokel, you can borrow it if you want.

Cheers - Your both absolute stars.

ReMan - I think you might have just saved my holiday!

I finally got out in the car - and the Diff whine got worse as I went along.

Had a look and you can wiggle around where the prop joins the diff.
(Sorry for non technical description)

I'd noticed before that it was a real struggled to push car forward into the garage, thought it was just a sticky brake or not in N ??- but then discovered it was free to roll backwards.

If you jiggle it all around then she spins freely forwards for a bit.

I didn't build the car so not got the details of the diff, all I know is when programming the digidash, it was just over 3 rotations, so assuming a 3.14 sierra diesel (going off Chris Gamlins ratios xls sheet)

SO panic is setting in (Yet again!) - Was s'posed to be going surfing next weekend on a stag do, and then leaving for LeMans a week on Weds.

I've been told (on good authority) that we can get it stripped and a replacement fitted easily enough - and go for a 4x4 sierra upgrading to LSD - and that'll fit.

Im just happy to go with whats available, the sooner the better.

[Colin] are you in tomorrow (Sunday)? - hope that doesn't sound too desperate?

[Steve] May I get back to you either before or after LeMans depending on situation!

I understand that this is what I need to check (lobro cv joint)


cv joint

Colin

Just to avoid tears later and cover all bases make sure its a 7" you need


Cheers

BTW Both ours should have the above joints.

ReMans diff in,

Thanks to all, especially Colin - Lending parts is one thing - a complete diff is another level

Just need some oil, put final covers and seats back in, re-program dash, make luggage rack then tootle down to France, and source a perm diff on our return.

Off to soak in a baf - to get rid of this diff oil smell!

Cheers

James.

As mentioned above - I will still be needing a replacement diff.

- Gonna try some local scrappies today, what is a Sierra 3.62 LSD worth? what has anyone paid recently?

Cheers,

James.

I think I paid about £60 for the complete back end.
Glad you got it in OK
Are you sure you want a 3.62?
But I bet you want an LSD when you've done a few donuts
You probably need to try it first and make sure its not to low?
(As I said (hopefully) theres no rush so don't pay over the odds for one in a hurry)

Yeah thats the one, already watching it

Have contacts in Milton Keynes.

Had no idea what to offer, probably end up bidding against all the other locost-ers.

B.T.W.
