try the q&a forum at www.fordcaprilaser.co.uk

I was a member there when I had capri's the members there could find pretty much anything! One particular guy would be called Glyn-3.0-Xpack, he used to strip 2.8 specials if i remember rightly.

MMMMWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

£425! was that the whole axle though? i'm only after the diff out of one, not needing the axle case

The diff on its own would probably be £420, what value is there in an empty case?

blakep82 - 4/4/09 at 12:34 PM

yeah, true enough. but a full working axle would presumably be worth more than fiver?

£425 is still well short of a new quaife ATB (which is what i nearly ended up doing...)

blakep82 - 4/4/09 at 03:11 PM

or where's the cheapest place to buy a quaife atb? found a few places, all cheaper than direct from quaife...

don't think i'm going to find much cheaper than here...

ooh, limited-slip.com, thats a nice price which brings another question, quaife or tran-x? i thought the ATB would be better than a plate type diff? less adjustment needed, no new clutches/rebuilds etc?
