I can't do technical talk, but long and short of it the DIF is knackered so new gearbox needed.

Update for you all:
Drove down to Portsmouth today in the tin can (I needed new ears by the time I got there) and picked up my replacement box from ZS 
Now I have to arrange getting it changed over...we are going to do the clutch at the same time and Dad's talking about the cambelts as well....might as well get it done in one hit...

Nothing personal fella, I didn't want to add any additional miles to my trip that were not necessary...damn van 
Seriously, my ears are still bloody ringing!
Plus I don't have your number! PM me it, I have to take my old box to ZS when they are swapped, I'll drop you a line
