i'll try changing the diff oil and see how that goes, if not roughly how much am i looking at for a new one, and what are my options, second hand, trd, ? who else makes lsd's.

as for the gauges the fuel one doesn't bother me to much as i know the feul light works so i can work it out from there, the temp gauge i know a good auto electriction whom i'll get to have a look at it.

hopefully pending weather i'll have some pics of both the cars tomorow.

cheers

Browse over the remarks above again. In an AE86 your "diff" or rear end has 2 main elements, the LSD that does the actual locking etc and a ring and pinion set, which is a set of gears that converts the longitudinal rotation of the driveshaft to a transverse rotation of the driveshafts. A whining diff is a problem of the R&P, the LSD is most likely fine (they clunk before dying). As explained above, the gears go out of allignment or devellop little scoremarks around the edges. What you need to get is a new R&P set and a professional to install it and set it up.
