how much for a new diff for a G33? I'm pretty sure I buggered it (leaking oil, making an odd thrumming noise like a buggered wheel bearing when I stamp on the loud pedal) on saturday night near bradford and as such it is now living in a safe place 
until such time as I can get organised to sort it 
forgot to add that it makes a very odd smell when I accelerate hard, smells like burning fluid of some sort but it definitely doesn't smell like engine oil..

It's the sapphire cosworth LSD IIRC, I noticed a drop of particularly gooey oil on the garage floor when I stopped, looked more like grease than oil. there were also a few black oily/greasy strips along the nearside exhaust (they are mounted centrally about 10" apart) so I can only assume that it's either the propshaft of the diff (same thing???) that's knackered. most peculiar symptoms, vibrates very hard/noisily when accelerating hard out of a roundabout or when making a heavy footed quick start for instance out of a junction, especially if it loses traction and spins up the wheels...i'm at a bit of a loss really as to what it is

cool. where are you? i'm from wakefield. more than happy to lend a hand if required..
it now resides considerably further north i'm afraid! thanks for the offer, are you on the list of members in the G.O.C booklet? I am, so be assured if you're in the midlands in need of some tools you can mail or ring me!
I broke it on the M606 (I think) and managed to drive a further 120 miles to my northern base where it awaits attention from macdonald racing of lanchester
