i have an standard open diff in my monster nck 3905 engined wedge and reckon it would benefit from an LSd as tvr saw fit in the similarly epwered 350se and 390.
anyone got a nice tight used lsd they don't need that i can buy for a fair price?
thanks

thanks adam, is that any and all? surely not, what models and years jags? what is the most recent and plentiful model that would have the right one? (i imagine a diff out of a 5 year old car might be in better nick than one out of a 50 year old car as well as easier to find! it's taken me a couple of years to find a decent replacement diff for my mk1 transit because later stuff doesn't fit, only mk1 and mk2 will do) cheers

I'm no expert because I have never had to replace one and I do a lot of Wedge driving - shows how bulletproof they are.

If the car has as much go as you say it does you might be better off with a 3.31:1 ratio; it'll still accelerate hard enough but you'll benefit from the lower revs at cruising speeds.

Standard for a 350i was 3.54:1, there should be a plate on the bottom rear of the diff that tells you what ratio's in it.
