do you even know where the diff is on your car? not sure I know what you mean... oh wait I think I do, I could use socket wrench extension bars too? Might give this a bash in the early mornings thanks!

Can I take off the 4 17mm bolts first and then try it? Or does have to be done in that order?? Wonder if something feel in there while I was marking up the first side.... tried to put the side I got out back but it no longer slides in fully... :-(

diff... will take her to a garage tomorrow and see what they say, feels like its stuck somehow....

Will do after my shower :-) the photo shows how far I got... still open diff in there only managed to get one of the sides off...

After all that work in getting a vice to get to work with replacing the open diff to a Quafie diff and the race finished short of just needing to the bloody thing! Have serious issues following the below guide: http://forums.nicoclub.com/diy-quaife-l ... 14548.html (should kill him for not writing a proper how-to for a start...) At the 'soft mallet' on the axles one of them refuses to budge, no matter how many wacks I've given it with the mallet it refuses to give way. I'm WAY to new to the differential scene to know what's ok or not so decided to give it up after ALL the pain I suffered getting it out from under neath the car Anyone know what could be the issue? It was all going so 'well', considering that I had to do a lot of DIY MacGyver things to get it out (might keep them to myself... or not)

That went straight over my head... after all that I've had to call it quits LSD DIFF 1 - Andlid 0 Can't get one of the axles off

this diff is getting between and my rest, dinner!!! Got it out It's HEAVY!!! You need two people easy or a big strong viking to get it out The lad in the US making the Quaife LSD install should be shot simples... I'll put together a proper guide after I'm finished... will be a while

I never get things fixed... so we should have help! followed by broken for ever Just kidding good idea...

saw that somewhere else, some comments on the bar it's connected too... pretty pricey if I don't recall wrong..

i suppose its because the Vice is a key tool in making explosive devices; have they banned them all across ireland??? its a shame moddershave to suffer as other People misuse a tool. You're getting into a deep puddle mate... I'm Swedish so I call my right to be neutral = no comment... Back under this Z! Love the diff work... yeah someone said it was p!ss easy... yeah right...

NI you fecker... btw wasnt the captain brittish? Also B&Q don't stock vice's in Ireland... neither does Halford unless I wanted a hobby wodden one... ffs... and then I'd had to go to Carlow to pick it up... finally found a place that stocks vice's ...

The oil check is up there too though!

That was about 1998 or something! BTCC is still as entertaining as it always has been. I'll maybe have it on in the background at work today. Recording it now, need to head out to Bbq

NO I need no new cubby.

This any good to you?

mine has that cubby standard, look for a 02, 03 cubby online second hand though.

just as confused as you mate that non of my closer friends have one... not many people over here has a garage though... it's always a converted garage to a bedroom, play room etc...

+1 and do put the earth back on... Ok so after i got over my hangover this morning , i set about changing the exhaust no better mornings!

havent watched that since plato was driving a renault... ages ages ages ago... worth watching? he's in a daywoooooo?

good stuff

Hmmmm guess I need to go there and spend some money then.... :-( for bench and all...

find me one in Dublin.... tried all day to find a builder place... tried a few hire places to... one DIY place asked what it is....

its the second hand sites not commercial ones then again they would do well in changing the spelling to get more hits leaning towards taking it out and get something sorted during the week....

no other tips?
