breather tube?

Er, nowt.
Is it a 7" or 7 1/2"?

7"

Thats what I thought

If your thinking of buying it, it'll go for much more than that in the end!

i'll go for complete lack of slip

Keep trying...
Somrthing to do with the pre-load I think...
It's a small bolt on part!
Pat...

The little bit of metal that locks the castellated bits.

Probs means its been adjusted and either too tight or too loose and knocks.

obvious now you mention it

Do i win a prize, preferably not the diff, its probably knackered!

Yep - the prize is a verbal well done.
Shall I email the guy and ask why it's missing?
Pat...

I have...

He said he has just found it, he forgot to put it back on after cleaning.

I guess it could be be absolutely fine, im going to keep my eye on it to see how much it goes for.

I was going to say the locking tab... or the breather tube... most beat me to it.

To me it all seems a bit suspect... if he took of the locking tab why didn't he take off the ID Tag to clean that too Why has he removed the locking rings to remove oil yet not removed the ID Tag afterall it is easier to remove backplate than to open the output side? Maybe the backplate has had a crack in it like our's did?

Buyer beware...
