Hi all,

just thought i'd make you all aware of a warranty job i'm about to have done. the entire differential is being replaced. i took the the car in for what i thought was a problem with the exhaust (i'm not too mechanically minded) as we had a high pitched dull resonance through the car at 40-70 km/hr (right on the normal speed limit in australia).

the sound wasn't too bad and the radio covered it at normal listening volume. however, when i got the car back they said the exhaust is fine but you need a new diff.

anyway,the reason for highlighting it is the new diff will cost $6,100 (australian), which is about 10% of the cost of the car.

I just thought i'd let everyone know in case you have a similar problem but haven't thought it was anything serious. get it looked at whilst you're still under warranty.

regards,
Brett from Oz
