    Diff for e36 wanted, in or close to Limerick

    Badly stuck for a diff, it's for a 1.6 1997 e36 saloon, a welded one would be handy but ill take a standard one also, whichever comes first.. need it as soon as possible and the closer to Limerick, the better

    Right, just the first diff I got was a 1.5 lsd one, it didn't fit, brought it back and got another, the 6 bolt patterns matched up but the drives weren't long enough to reach

    The 3.45 referres to the diff output ratio, the 1.5 is to do with acceleration/brake effectiveness of the locking mechanism in an LSD.


    Are you saying the driveshafts were the incorrect ones? Why not just change them instead?
