hi all I have just been told im going to be needing a rear diff for my bugeye 51 reg, but needing to get one with the same code as the one I already have is this so? and if anyone that's breaking might have one how much are we looking at for it?

 

Go to the breaking car parts on here and have a look through.

There are many breakers such as pole position and Scooby parts who have an excellent reputation for quality of parts and customer service on here.

Give them a shout!

 

cheers mate

 

What were the symptoms? Mine has just started making a rubbing noise from the rear offside wheel, I would have guessed brakes but it stops when I turn left! Sound familiar?

 

what's your symptoms mate, would like to know ?

 

Mine sounds like wheel bearing been like it for 18 months not got any worse.

 

so how do you know its not some sort of bearing ?

 

Told by who and what are the symptoms? When was the fluid last changed?

 

Well thought it was n/s r bearing so changed it, no change took it to engine tuner they said the same after a quick drive I told them I'd changed it so they inspected a bit further and traced the noise to diff. I changed the oil to castrol universal it's a bit better and there was metal filings on the plug.

 

maybe change o/s/r before just to be sure

 

I think with engine tuners reputation I can trust them to diagnose the problem.

 

no prob I have similar problems just hope its not my diff im going to change wheel bearings and diff oil and see what im left with

 

You can pick up a rear diff for around 80 its probably easier than changing a bearing lol

 

true but if its not the diff then its pointless , and where you finding a diff for that price ? just incase
