LSD dead

[dnb]

Took the Griff out for a bit of a hoon tonight and realised that the right hand rear wheel was just spinning on hard acceleration.
So the LSD is finally dead.

Mini roundabouts have never been so much fun.

It's been knocking for ages, but tonight has killed it.

So, where can I get parts for a GKN diff?

There was someone on here from GKN brum IIRC, thread about uprated driveshafts with starring roles from Delboy & PeterH....

I think @Adrian may use them as well?

I rebuilt mine last year so I can give you bearing and seal part numbers if that's any help..

hope it's nothing more serious than that though..

I have gone down the Quafe ATB route but not driven it yet so can’t say how it works. It is fitted in the casing with new bearings and a lick of paint but still on the bench.

bad news mate, but that`ll teach you for boasting about driving your griff with the roof down whilst mine is off the road

How much Steve if you don't mind me asking ?

Last time I was at Leven's they mentioned having a reconditioned GKN one available on an exchange basis.
Is it possible to convert to a later type? Whats involved if it can be done?

It's just the LSD bit that's dead. Other than having to drive it everywhere sideways it's just the same as it always has been.

So I'm not sure bearings and seals will be enough The part numbers would very much be appreciated though!

If I am absolutely honest I can’t remember the exact amount and am challenged to find the paperwork at the moment. by the time you have paid someone to fit it in the casing and some new bearings you need to budget around a grand inc Vat.

Have a look on the Quafe web site, there may be some prices for the actual ATB on there although there are a couple of different versions

Ugh.. nasty..

I've got all the details on my PC in work so will PM you on Monday. Not that I work on personal projects in work...

IIRC it came to about £110 all in..
