Does anybody have any glowing recommendations for Diff 'refreshing' in the Northants (or wider) area? My bearings are becoming increasingly 'vocal', although lock up seems to be OK.

I guess a number of places could do the bearings reasonably easily, but who knows their way around a plate LSD if I chose to get that done too? Suggestions for either scenario would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nick

Thanks both - these are a bit of a distance from me, but I guess a) they know what they are doing and b) you've used them yourselves? Any suggestions as to how much I'd be looking at to do both bearings and LSD?

Ta,
Nick

There is a guy called Gareth on the E30zone who rebuilds E30 diffs and has a very good reputation.

Gearboxman.co.uk - they've built me a few E28 diffs recently and they certainly know their onions.

Just off J9 of the M1.

Thanks all, have sent off a few enquiries to the nearest. A colleague has recommended JP Race at Silverstone also. Will report back how I get on.

Cheers,
Nick
