LSD with £60 worth on new oil

. Time for an upgrade I think that will take more power.

Could be just age and wear of course, these babies are 30 years old but still a pity. BTW what oil did u use?

I should have rebuilt it really bit the Damage is done now. Can't remember the oil it was recommended on the forums and was bloody expensive.
I have some footage when I figure how to get it off the gopro I will upload.

Is it definitely the diff that has gone? or could it be one of the CV joints?

If its the diff, that'll be the first I've seen reported on here since I've been a member (7-8 years). Most failures have been the inner CV's.

PS BMW LSD Oil should of been this stuff:

Castrol Syntrax limited slip 75W/140
or by its old name Castrol SAF-XJ 75w-140

Cheers Ben. I was using 75 90 I think

. Not sure what's gone yet I might try and pull it tomorrow. Would damages inner cv cause quite violent wheel lock mainly when the car is going anything from straight ?Thankfully I have done a lot of favours for a guy who rebuilds these diffs for fun so it will be getting a refurb and sold on. I've decided to go the e12 route and see what breaks next

.

pictures tell a thousand words....its going to need lots of chemical metal

I think it was the diff that broke there then

.

I've resurrected the diff thread in Technical if you wouldn't mind adding the pics and some spec info on your car there

Cheers

spectacular fail tbh, in some ways you should be proud.

New seats today. Fit new rear beam next week and e12 diff should be back from being rebuilt the week after.
Recaros I fitted a few weeks ago that I was going to re trim in original cloth until I found out its £90pm

These are for sale now.

The new ones

. I love them.
