    Rear Diff Failure

    Morning all, unfortunately this morning my rear diff has failed, dropped all its fluid and made some really horrible noises. Does anyone know of a Legnum VR4, manual AYC PFL diff for sale please?

    Also difficulty rating to replace? Im guessing the AYC will need setting up after replacement?

    Any pointers much appreciated, this is the wifes daily run around, cant be off the road for long.

    No setting up required. FL & PFL / manual & auto are all the same. Only difference between models is make sure you get one from a type-s for a like-for-like as the type-v ones, although stronger, are different so don't have ayc. Many members have upgraded theirs for Evo 8/9 s-ayc as this will keep the ayc & are stronger, but they are more money.

    Edited: Looks like Colin had / has a direct replacement & is south coast:

    Possibly the only VR4 that was driven by the current owner before being registered..... & it's a UK car

    If it helps, I can collect this tomorrow and get it a bit closer to you (i.e. Gloucester rather than Brum). As long as it fits in with Atik, of course!
