Re: ** HELP MOT Issues ** M42 318is

Hi Anisotropy,

Thats the thing it was a Half Price one at Peugeot Main Dealer for Motors over 10Year old.
Someone did say to me that the reason it would be half price is that they would look to make all the service work from it?

Cheers

Re:

Cool, cool what do you mean by can bite you if you over push it iin a bend? also would it make it easier to do doughnuts etc as the LSD locks both wheels to a certain percentage, correct ?????? A 3,91 ratio would be fine as it is close to my original 4,10 ratio.

Thanks again Nick
