Go to a race and i bet 100 bucks what you will see is a nissan with a broken diff and they all carry 2 spare diffs. One thing i notice with rover drivers is there ablity to not spend money and find the cheapest way to do thing and usualy it will brake as they have used 30 year old parts and think it should work so you need to start fitting new parts that dont suffer from 30 years of metal fatigue, i am sorry if i have up set any one but i see so many tight arses trying to make strawberry jam out of pig ****, if you fit a CV out of a 76 modle rangie and it cost 50 buck then you get what you pay for, work out how many times you have done it and what YOU would like to be payed an hour then think about it thats a lot of money and more than a set of Ashcrot CV,s. I am sure i have stirred up something now, SALSBURY DIFFS you can do it!!!:p
