All the same (bar M3 - exhaust hanger difference).

hmm...not sure wether this is a good thing or not...my diff just wont line up with it.its on the front 2 mounting and the main chassis one, but the two middle mount are bout 8mm out. any ideas?
Ben

i would say undo the front ones again not all the way tho . and raise it with a floor jack maybe wiggle it too. it should line up !

Thats got it! just me being a spanner instead of using one properly!

Righty, now thats done, i have found another problem. the propshaft doesnt seem quite long enough? the four connecting bolts are just out of reach from the diff pinion flange. the diff's all mounted properly in the four points and the fifth on the chassis.does it retract into the main bearing or flex or sumthin? (first time doin this!!)

Loosen the large collar joining the 2 halves of the prop together and lengthen it slightly by sliding the rear end out.
