Diff and axle - Whats it from?

[ed400]

My 94 Chim 400 has developed a nasty whin from the diff when either using light acceleration but more prominantly when backing off (especially after a blast!).

What I need to find out is where the rear is from, I have a feeling its a Sierra Cossie item but want to make sure before I go and buy a spare to overhaul.

IIRC the uprights are TVR items the diff is from a Sierra or Grandada with modified internals

Nice one, cheers mate. Gonna get it booked in to my local dealer once the warranty stuff comes back...if it looks really bad then i'll do it myself.

Might just be the diff bearings gone which isn't the worst thing in the world to fail.

Top Cats replaced mine last year and no problems since. Can't remember how much it was (my profile might say) but think it was around £500 which compared to a new diff at around £1500-£2000 isn't that bad.
