Scooter Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Owner of 15 years pops on with a broken car, some help/advice on how to get it fixed doesn't really hurt does it? I think we need to be a little more forward thinking dare I say it friendly, could even be good for the club? Why not introduce a £10 buying tax for non members. Non members just coming on and selling stuff I totally get is not on, however someone looking for help and who could be a good buyer for current members goods could be a win win. If you make it beholden on a current member to add £10 to any sale to a non member then the club gets the £10 even if the buyer/potential new member gets his part and never posts again? Right now they just go to EBay, Facebook or google things to death and think we're a bit off'ish? Eg if Sheefa still had those bits his sales audience is practically zero so this is a good chance for a member to benefit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Doing that would open up a whole can of worms, we have enough problems with members knocking off other members can you imagine the explosion of disputes if we let everybody in ? The classifieds is a courtesy we extend to our members the main point of the club is a place to find information, technical help, general chat and a place to speak to other like minded car enthusiasts. It would be a whole lot less hassle to do away with it as it is where 99% of disputes and problems come from on the forum but we persevere to give members the privledge to as it helps them out another thing the forum is great for. I just worry more members will get stung if that happened something nobody wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I understand but I just can't see how sellers can get stung? Just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I understand but I just can't see how sellers can get stung? Just an idea Failed to get item, item broken etc if it's with PayPal the buyer always wins. I don't argue that sellers are less likely to get stung that buyers but I'd rather no one did.

Parry_10 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 No one has the bits he needs anyway. It's not the internals he needs that you swap out when upgrading the diff. He will need a complete uk manual tt6 diff, good luck with that. Around 1k if you can ever find one. Took me ages to find mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sprog Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Hi already got big diff on my car as it's a uk 6speed tt manual 72k fsh just crown wheel and pinion damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I think Parry was saying anyone upgrading theirs still uses the original crown wheel and pinion so they won't have spares to sell Large diffs are rare, uk's even more so, it may be that you are better off looking for a small manual diff and corresponding driveshaft, you'll lose the diff cooling the uk cars have but that's not really an issue. Even these are rare though, an auto LSD Is the easiest to find but then it will change the ratios quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of know a bit, I thought the prop was ok but maybe not (definitely not on researching) , the driveshaft will be easy to find, the worst part is its straying from standard which is a shame and it'll be higher geared which may or may not suit you. Is the friends diff a limited slip one or open one do you know? I'd get after the one ripped fear mentioned Edited August 9, 2016 by Scooter (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterfett Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I also have a diff from a manual i would be willing to sell if interested, not from a 6 speed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sprog Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Thanks for the offer, but need a big case diff to fit the drive shafts and prop shaft already on the car.i do have a spare tt auto diff where as if anyone has a 6speed manual non turbo prop shaft for sale this would fit the diff I have,I would be interested.

Guest Sprog Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi scooter,my friends diff is an open one I've been told to see if I can get a 6speed n/a propshaft as this will mate up to the tt auto diff then only need driveshafts.

JasonR24 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Get an upgraded LSD diff. Tell them what car you have and I'm sure they can provide a direct bolt on. Yes it'll be more expensive but in the long run you won't have an auto diff with some other prop and drive shafts. Get quality parts and you'll have peace of mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry_10 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Why are people telling this guy to spend thousands on uprated internals with labour and seals etc when this will not solve his problem? His crown and pinion are shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashloys Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 After owning the car for 15 years don't dare give it to someone to break, keep it and fix it. You would regret it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
