Rear diff I.D.
How can i determine if its a uk rear diff.
i've one spare and need to clarify that its a uk diff.(classic shape)
if i take the back plate off, how many and which teeth shall i count to determine if its a uk rear diff or not.(or is there an easier way to I.D. it)
thanks if anyone can advise.

Easy:
1
Remove oil and end cover exposing the crown wheel.
2
Mark with a white marker pen/tipex a tooth on the crown wheel and on the case closest to that tooth thus giving you a start reference point.
3
Mark similarly the prop shaft flange and case for a start reference point.
4
Turn the prop flange counting the complete 360 degree turns to rotate the crown wheel ONE complete turn and the tipex marks to re-align.
5
You will turn the prop flange about 3 complete turns then a fraction of a turn.
Expect about 3.9 turns (you have to estimate this) for one rotation of the crown wheel.
I cannot remember the UK rear diff ratios off hand, sorry.

On the crown wheel side face exposed will be a series of numbers.
You divide the one by the other and it will read something like 3.9 or 3.53 etc. The Jap diffs tend to work out as 1:4.444 or 1:4.111
Not having a UK turbo I am not familiar with the ratio values.
