GKN to BTR conversion .
Discussion
I too spotted the diffs listed on eBay as the BTR in my 98 450 is leaking slightly from the output seals.
I'm also wondering whether one of these "new" diffs from Malaysia may work out better value than having my BTR diff refurbished, I've got a bottle of seal conditioner to put into my current diff to see if it helps with the leak as other than the slight leak it is pretty quiet and seems mechanically fine (car has done 52K).
What are peoples thoughts on the likely condition of the seal material in the Malaysian diffs, depending what it is it is certainly possible that the seals may have degraded over the last 10 or so years?

Folks already mentioned Central stock & yes superficially it looks good condition when i viewed recently
Andy (their technician) was telling me it would be possible to retro fit later BTR diffs esp as orig GKN no longer made/stocked - change to mounting brackets
Iv`e not seen any brackets for sale ,been making phone calls ,I wish someone would sell them off the shelf .Andy (their technician) was telling me it would be possible to retro fit later BTR diffs esp as orig GKN no longer made/stocked - change to mounting brackets
