I done a bit of research on it and read about the diff bearings failing at mileages as low as 5k miles, Bad batch of bearings apparently. A lot have had gearbox rebuilds or swaps in warranty period. Shite gearbox really compared to mk2 ndo which is quite strong.Maybe light use is the issue. Mines solid at 60k driven like a toss bag everywhere!
Though your 100% right, would be daft not to have an overhaul/refresh while its off
A friend of mine had his diff rebuilt on a low mileage 275 trophy, I say rebuilt, I mean had a new diff.

So I could see a torch on the other side, for example? And a non-diff, I wont be able to?You can see straight through the diff with the shafts out.
Where did you get this done and how much did it cost?The LSD box has been stripped, checked, vapour blasted and rebuilt. One bearing race was replaced as a precausion as it wasn't absolutely perfect but everything else was fine. Now back here, waiting for me to get around to fitting it.

£250 inc the vapour blast. He was very complimentary about the quality of the diff in it. It's a place next door to my mates Ian's MOT centre, on the Lakeside trading estate in Redditch. He did my R9 box too. First time I have used him, but came on Ian's recommendation.Where did you get this done and how much did it cost?
Surely you can pick up an OE one for not much more? £250 + £250 fitting = £500. Mine owes me £650 total inc purchase and rebuild.Oh ok, sounds reasonable.
Thinking of getting one of those £250 VAL racing russian LSDs for the ND0.
This is a PK4018 - but I guess the principle is the same.Can't find an LSD ND0 for less than 700
