had a chat with the diff centre place today. the diff is out of the car.
the centre is still in tact. they havent opened it yet.
the diff housing has an oil feed that goes in the right side, runs around, then pops up and relinks to the right side of the diff. so as you said, its an oil feed.
they are going to open the centre up and see whats inside and find outs busted.
he has said i can have a kaaz centre for 1500 then another 150 odd to swap it (if its fits) then the original 350 to put it all back in. so im looking at 2 grand. i said im not prepared to spend that. i was originally quoted 350 to open it up and find out whats wrong inside. he will proceed to open the centre (included in the price) and let me know whats the next step.
he said i can get a 2nd centre from somewhere else providing it fits but he cant guarantee it will be any better or work better than what i have. he also said it could die anytime as well being 2nd hand. if they change to a kaaz centre they will block off the oil feeds, which will most likely mean the pump wont work and ill have a-lsd errors on the dash all time (which would suck).
more to come when i check up on tuesday, after they've opened the centre
