LSD - What are they worth?
Hello
Just a quick question, what would you recommend paying for a nice shiny reconditioned LSD and drive shafts? my belief is it's from a XR4i 2.8
Many thanks
Neil

If it's from an XR4i then its not an lsd
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

The XR4i had push in shafts and a non LSD diff and drum brakes
The XR4x4 had bolt on type shafts and disc brakes and should have a LSD. the 2.8 should have 3.62 ratio

As to how much it is worth - that would depend on what you are getting.
they can be had for £50-£60 straight off a car or a fully reconditioned one can be many hundreds. I would only pay hundreds for one with receipts to
prove that it was all new inside, even then it is doubtfull if it is worth it as a 100,000 miler is likely to be perfectly ok
Come to think of it a Quaife ATB is about £600 so if you have that sort of money that's the way forward.
Cheers

Get one from a Disco - better ratio, lighter and just as strong.

If you believe you're not crazy, whilst everybody is telling you, you are - then they are definitely wrong!

As in Land Rover Discovery? Are they similar to a sierra then in terms of size etc.?
Sounds like it might be a better option for my mid-BEC.

What's the "atb" stand for? I'm being lazy and asking instead of looking it up. I've a feeling I should know and
probably will kick myself for it being obvious but I'm feeling a little dense today!

Many of the people selling Sierra 4x4 LSD's tend to put them on ebay. I've seen them go for not less than £130. 00 and as much as £187.00.
These are used 3.63 ratio. The 2.0ltr Sierra Saphire 4x4 LSD is 3.9 ratio.
Finding one outside ebay is becoming difficult.
I've seen rebuilt up for in excess of £400
So I guess £130 for a diff in good nick would be just about tolerable.

sold my 7.5 inch cossie LSD on ebay a month ago for £255!
No visable wear or damage on the internals and a de crap and paint up on the outside.
