I'm looking to fit the LSD from my breaker into my touring very soon, and wondered if there's anything else that I need to change ( prop, shafts etc ).

Any input appreciated chaps..

Thanks

Should just fit straight on mate. Just undo the bolts and bolt the new one in. Although, the speedo plug on my LSD was different from the standard open dif so if they are you may have to swap them round.

I would fit a new diff. bush before installing the diff.,either a Z4M item from the stealer or a polybush one.
