John,

I have no experience of them, but I'm sure there are plenty of other owners who have.

Thanks for your help Richard.
I have done most things on a Minor, but not a diff.
Learning all the time.

I took some advice today, and was told that 95% of whining diffs are whining because the crownwheel and pinnion teeth have lost their case hardening, and are not repairable.
I was told the only way to get a good diff is to have a completely new crownwheel and pinnion.

Any thoughts anyone?
