  1. My model of MX-5 is: NC2
  2. I’m based near: King’s Lynn
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: Failed differential

Hello! First post.
The diff on my NC 2.0 Sport Tech failed - it suffered an oil leak (an inherited problem from the previous owner I suspect) and by the time I heard it suffering the damage was done.

So I’m trying to explore my options - I’ve had no luck finding a used one from breakers (apart from Suffolk Mazda, who this forum seems to advise I avoid like the plague). Do used ones come up fairly regularly, or is this a hen’s teeth situation? In which case, can they be rebuilt? Is that more cost effective than buying a new one? I’m not too far from Suffolk Transmissions, for instance.
Any help or advice greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

  • Ed

There are LSD’s for NC’s advertised on Facebook (if you do that platform).
Not every day but do a whole lotta searching and you will find one in very short time.

Plan B would be to pop a (more expensive but better) option in it like a Quaife ATB.

Thanks Reggie. I’ve got a couple of leads now ( thanks also @MaxBlack3.75 )

  • I’ll let you know how I get on.
