wouldn't bother with a salvage diff TBH, they're silly money when a Genuine service exchange diff is only slightly more expensive. (same diff for D3 and D4 btw. Thumbs Up )

Min went about 30k I think, replaced under warranty. It was one of the batch that had paint turning into grinding paste issues.

Mine didn't fail but I could hear it whine when I drove it out the dealers forecourt at 4miles Rolling Eyes
 Its not the height of the fall but the sudden stop at the bottom that hurts!!
