I have broken my diff, whoops!

My question is how reliable are these diffs? the reason I ask is I am considering buying a secondhand one, and don't really want to change it again if that one fails.

so is it worth it? or should I just buy a recon unit?

I bought a second hand spitfire diff in the end, just as an experiment to see if it made much difference having a different ratio. It is working fine, cost £50 and means 300 rpm less at 70 mph with no noticable loss of acceleration.

3 to 4 hours has a diff changed if you only have axle stands. I guess it would be quicker with a decent lift. The spring mounting on the top of the diff is easy to undo, not so easy to refit.
