I paid £80 from a breaker for the same, but had to remove it myself.

Would happily have paid £12 for someone else to do it! So bargain in my book.

I posted on here last week about this.

I spoke to the bloke selling this on the phone.

While he was talking he turned the input shaft and said that only 1 x output shaft turned.

This would probably indicate an open diff.

But if it turns out to be a LSD then yes, I think you have yourself a bargain.

I have already collected it and its definitely an LSD.

I was actually looking for bolt on hubs, but got an LSD for free.

Norm - just had a look at your post. It was indeed removed from an XR4X4 (and as far as I know they are all LSDs). Also I thought that a diff code with AA also gives away that its a slipper.


Matt £80 is impressive, thought I had a massive bargain, but was clearly outdone.

Canny, I paid £80 just for the diff, thought it was cheap enough.

Sweet!!!!!

If I had bought it I would have had to pay the £65 courier, still would have been cheap enough.

Bloke just sounded a bit vague on the phone which just put me off.

Ya win some, ya lose some I suppose

You can't beat a good bargain!

I won my diff on ebay for 99p collected. Unfortunately, it wasn't an LSD or a rare ratio, but for an extra 30 quid the seller threw in rear hubs/shafts, handbrake and cable, steering column and wheel. Not bad I thought!


norm007 - 31/10/10 at 04:56 PM

Just won this!!!!!

Its a LSD, and bloke gonna deliver it next Saturday for free as he is coming to York anyway.

So I suppose I eventually got my own little bargain. Yipeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice.
It is definitely the best time of the year to by car parts.
