so I have installed the motor in the sub frame of my project, fitted universals, only to find there is too much play in the diff output shaft. so pulled it all down and removed the diff.

can people shed light on most likely worn parts to replace.
- there is lateral movement in both shafts,
- the crown wheel side moves in and out approx. 0.63mm from what the feeler gauges says
- seems to be some movement in the main pit that holds the spider gears.

ideas on how to repair, would a kit from mini spares fix it?
do I need new bearings?
how do you get the bearings off?

need a 3 legged puller to get the bearings off

you'll need a new diff pin, and washers for the spider gears and thrusts

have a look for a diff rebuild kit

if you support your local mini specialist for the parts you need
then i`m sure they will support you in return

The Uk parts companys are a fair way away to ask advise
about Aussie cars , esspecially when their UK cars are totally different to ours

A list of Australian Mini businesses is here. Some have online shop websites. viewtopic.php?f=41&t=83593

Here's an example of one type of rebuild kit, or just buy the components you need.

Fully agree, keep it local, keep our suppliers in business, keep people employed. It would be a sad day if the locals shut up shop.

I agree, Some people don't understand how much work we do sourcing the right quality parts and keeping stock. Makes it very hard for us when people direct others to buy from overseas when parts can be bought here. Support suppliers that support the local Mini community. We are always here with friendly advice like Matt said.

Once online purchases like that attract tax, (and eventually they will) those price differences will disappear.
