    Default Differential Wanted!!

    Has anyone got a differential knocking around that they don't want?

    I have now fitted two and both have been U/S on fit. I'm getting pretty good at it now, and have got removed and refitted the sub frame assy. in about 2 1/2 hours, but I am getting a bit dispondent over it all now. Bespoke auto developments have supplied the diffs (ex MGR bankrupt stock) and they have been more than helpfull, but I am still without a servicable diif and therfore car. Can anyone help?

    Sorry to hear the problems you have had, I assume you have had refunds on the dud diffs you have been given? I'm not sure if the diff was a bespoke part for MG or available elsewhere as it was fitted to other makes/models?

    No, it is not a bespoke part. It is the Dana Hydratrak LSD, fitted to lots of cars, including TVRs.

    When mine was replaced, it was ordered direct from Australia where they are manufactured, but I would be surprised if Dreadnought couldn't help you in some way.

    Given the situation with mine, this is not reassuring news

    Hope for all our sakes you get this resolved asap

    Best regards
