Just wanted to say a Big thankyou to Stu as he come round this morning and removed my old open diff and fitted my new LSD 3.91.

Not only did he remove and refit, he removed the rear housing off the diff as my new one was a bit worse for wear and my old diff had a new bush about 3months back and also looked alot tidyer.

He also created a Gasket with the gasket paper and replace the old diff oil for new.

Not only did he do all this he done it on a boiling hot day and he really went to town on detail.

I would high recormend Stuart to any one in the local area of Surrey/ Croydon

THANKS AGAIN MATE
Neil

P.S. got some wicked shot of the inside of the diff which i will post later.

Si this is me ur talking about changing a diff, u got to think i aint all their im special.

I was gonna ask ali to help bu i thought he'd turn up with a pair of boxer and a ice tub to help fit the diff.

The safe bet was to get stu to do it that way i knew it would be alright

Another thing to add stu is gonna come and help me lower the car and attach the mtech front and rear valance's aswell, The nice thing is he is as excited as me to see the car transform over the next couple of weeks.
