We've spoken to them today about a diff we require rebuilding - having seen the details here, not a company we could use unfortunately.
Any ideas re diffs anyone?
Cheers, Al.

I've heard a few stories about them, all third party so unable to confirm or deny, none have been positive.

Think you are after John at http://www.manualgearboxrepairs.co.uk/ do beleive he is known locally as John the box.

He did a manual box for me in a volvo in 2009, was making a dreadful noise, renewed the full bearing set, drive in and out service car back within days. Cheaper than any other option I could find and no problems since.

I would return as I was more than happy with the service and result.
