My 320i cab auto 1990 diff is noisy and needs repairing. Is there anyone in the East Midlands area that can do refurbishments?

There is a place in Nottingham I have used to repair a diff before.

But your probably better off buying a know good diff, you could also upgrade to an LSD for the price of a diff rebuild.

Yes what's his e30 zone name? I would like to get it refurbed. Not sure an LSD would offer me any benefits on a standard car I want to keep original.

Just get a replacement diff for £40-£60, wouldn't be worth the cost for a refurb.
