my rear diff has gradually shat its self, i assumed that i had broken the pins/springs
however when i pulled it out i have found a shitload of hard black plastic
wedged into all sorts of places on the center. i cant remember anything with
plastic in the diff so i dunno how it got there.
it is possible that my young fell put something in there when i have serviced it.
any suggestions?
i have a open 2 pin centre that i can fit or i can just clean out the plastic and hope for the best
or i could weld up the lockright (1530) so what says AZ, what should i do.

Mate,
I had an italian wife (no.2) that piece of plastic looks her IUD (contraceptive device). It was handed down from her grandmother, but I have no idea how it got in ur diff housing. But then she does get around a bit!
