Im running a 3.64 at the mo(i replaced the 3.73)and its perfect for me,but its slowly going,and just wanted a quote on a new one?

Thanks polsta,i bet its still expensive for a refurb tho?

Gareth?? Is he on here? Are his services open to everyone?

[polsta]

yeah he is/was on here, search "gareth" i think was his actual username, although im sure someone on here will know contact details if hes not been on here latley

he can open them up, service,inspect them, change seals, and also whatever else up to fully refurbishing and replacing worn cogs,bearings or whatever parts in there, obviously the more involved he gets the more parts and expense

he also refurbs the casings and whatever else i think

if anyone cotacts him ,post up the findings and costs

Bargain!

[Sawyer_E30]

PM Gareth I think.

[ross_jsy]

Gareth's prices are extremely reasonable IMO and offers modification for more lock up

[penton08]

Gareth is the man!! my diff came back from him working and looking better than new, At about a 1/4 of the price of a new one

[macas]

Yep...its deffo a refurb time!!

Still not sure why the 3.73 diff would be more cheaper,thought it would be the more expensive!!

[ross2009]

gareth charges between 80 for basic up to about 500 that includes more clutch plates machined and uprated more lock up to 40% depending on what ya want doing you can pay that for a 2nd hand one nowadays
get it rebuilt ill be sending mine his way when i get round to it

[macas]

Iv just pmd him..

Has anyone had the 40% lock done?and did you notice a great difference?

[gareth]

Hi

PM me if you need prices (They do vary on diff type, size etc) and i'll get back to you

Not been on here a lot lately, i'm mid house move and the new place needs loads of work so pretty busy....

[Topblag]

I'm pleasantly surprised at the price from BMW. When you think that a pair of 51 mm struts without wheel bearings or backing plates is circa £900, it's a bloody bargain.

You can but it is about 1500 pounds.

U might be able to get it down to 1400 if you are in good terms with the BMW Parts department.

I think is 25% lock up.

Alternatives:

Get a second hand one and give to Gareth to strip and rebuild in a variety of specifications you can choose from
Get a Quaife LSD which has a lifetime warranty
