Had a service done a few days ago with a Jaguar indi in Stockport . They say ive got a Noisey Diff !

Now they have pointed this out all i can hear is maybe a very slight whistle, i would have put this down to general tyre noise/ Road Noise . Theres no whine or clunking ect

Anybody else had this?

My MY16 diff started whining; replaced under extended warranty. Guess at around 40,000 miles.

I got quoted about £3200 for new diff fitted . However called a few Diff Repair People who said they could renew it for £700 if i can get the old Diff to them . That will be the route i will go down

I'm booked in this week with these guys https://www.mandttransmissions.co.uk

who gave a very reasonable price to take off, recondition and refit

I'll report back on my experience next week :)

back from Sheffield with a car that doesn't make any diff noise again !

went to https://www.mandttransmissions.co.uk/ £1500 for them to remove rebuild and refit, there's Hilton Doubletree down the road so for another 80 quid i stayed the night there, they have gym and pool.

I took the car in at 9 am on the Thursday it was ready at 10 am the next day

For me that was well worth the price. I'm really happy
