I’ve decided to bite the bullet and replace the diff on my car as it's getting to be a bit noisey. It doesn’t look like a major job albeit I don’t possess sufficiently high axle stands or a trolley jack with sufficient lift. So I thought I’d do the sums and find out how much it would cost the lazy way.

I tracked down a firm in Suffolk who would recon my diff for £430 which seemed reasonable. However my local friendly Independent Jaguar Specialist wanted £750 to drop the cage and put it back. Blimey.

Has anyone else done this on an outboard set up recently using just the ordinary home garage equipment and how did you get on? Any thoughts suggestions or otherwise greatly appreciated.

Never done this but understand rear disks is a rear subframe out jobbie 

Fortunately mine when it boiled down to it only needed new rear pads so major cost was averted for which I was highly grateful but possibly had the car been doing more miles the disks would have been replaced 

Good luck from a poor defenceless female technophobe who places her hopes in the hands of trusted experts   

Great stuff Keith – Couldn’t have done it without you guys. Great Job, thanks.
