The part no on the housing reads 124 351 0608 Does anyone have the part numbers for the Alternative diffs which can be fitted to the 16v.?? I assume that this is the original Diff(despite the 124 part no) but I'm not certain which ratio this one is? 3.07/3.27/3.67 ?? All help is,as always,very much appreciated..!! Cheers Guys. Cosser..!!

That part number is not for the diff, it is for the rear cover plate, the diff number is stamped on the top left hand side, it`s hard to read when the diff is fitted, as mentioned the ratio is stamped at the 5 o clock position looking at the rear of the diff, it`s a long number but the last 3 digits will tell you the ratio.
