Right bare with me.......I have spoke to ruan on the phone to day who confirmed it is 99% the diff
Basically I dropped the box to change the clutch because I had a massive whine coming form the g/box area, assuming it was the push bearing as it was rattly at idel, so I changed the clutch and put the box back on. went to put the shafts in yet I couldn't get either side to go in :S tried for about an hour, nothing! so inspection time.
looking into the diff through the drive shaft hole you have two "sleeves" a smooth one after the seal then the splined one the shaft drives from. its dropped about 2/3mm. take the speedo drive housing off the other side same again, stick my finger in there (gigity) and I can push the splined sleeve updown left right all over the place, loose as you like
Now im no expert but im pretty sure that spline shouldn't move in there
