    Many thanks

    Eurospec in Guildford or Nick Mann in Redditch. Both respected members on here that know their stuff. Might be a little far for you though.

    Why not become a full member of CVR4 and enjoy the additional benefits membership brings?! Information here.

    Hi buddy, check out post. It has step by step guides to change all the fluids yourself and is very helpful.

    I changed the transfer box and rear diff oils myself using this guide having never done this before. This was extremely easy and saved me a load of cash and the car was off the road for a total of about 1hr.

    Failing that like Nev said give Nick Mann or Eurospec a call and they will be able to square you away. If you fancied a trip to Northants I could square the Rear diff oil for you although I am no mechanic so can offer no guarantee lol.

    Hope this helps bud

    What's wrong with the original diff? Completely busted?

    Thanks for the offer rikki but I've spoken to eurospec and they can do it for a reasonable price and yea its completely shot every half trun of the rim or so a massive clunk comes from the rear and is the sound of metal that shouldn't be clunking aha I have the complete rear diff ready to fit I just need it doing as I don't have the tools myself other wise I would
    Many thanks
