Unfortunately, a dealer doesn't have an option as to what diff he fits. It's genuine parts only unless you want to supply your own diff for him to fit.
Many have had their diff replaced with no further problems but you don't hear about them.

I got the car back today, the cross pin had come out partially resulting in one of the "spider" gears coming adrift. Unfortunatley they wouldn't let me take any pics :(
On the plus side they fitted a four pinion diff as a replacement. So hopefully it's a goodun! :)
Cheers,

errrrrrrrrr I thought all puma diffs were 4 pinion:confused:
weren't the p38 diffs 4 pinion as I believe we have the same diffs as them
Glad to here that you are back on the road again:D Should do another trip soon Cheers Ian
The Puma rear diff is 4 pin. Front 2 pin.

cross pins are for the sun gears, sun gears drive the axles, the pinion drives the crown wheel.
