hi guys I was driving my p1 today out of a second gear corner the wheels were spinning when I heard a loud banging I shut off and stopped after looking round the car I set off again everything seemed fine until pulling up on the drive the car seemed to lurch forward when the lock was on and it seemed like the brakes were stuck I presume its the diff or maybe the gearbox ? but which one ? any ideas who to check also are these the same as wrx /sti ? thanksneil.

 

If when you drive in slow tight circles , with steering on full lock the car feels like it's skipping , it's most likely the centre diff

 

hi thanks for the info is a different diff to other models ?

 

It's a viscous LSD diff , non serviceable

 

the p1 diff is the only 1 that will fit

 

hi is there any way to check this I have jacked the rear up and there is a small amount of play in rear diff from moving the wheel to when the drive shaft moves ?

 

is the centre diff inside the gear box ?

 

Yes it's at the back of the gearbox
