i have a 2l welded diff it was the best thing ever...till it sheared a output shaft and now i need a hole new diff as the end of the shaft is stuck in the planit gear and we think it has friction welded it self there

I knwo theres a lot of mixed opinions but i want a welder to save me busting another diff, but dads going mental saying ill wrap it round a tree, but surely if you drive normally it shouldnt be that bad? Or am i off the mark here?Easy way as im told is not to plant my foot mid corner but wheres the fun it that

Sods law just had a email from http://www.volvospares-uk.com/ saying they have one for £125. Just wondering if they're any good and if the price sounds right? (Seems bit much to me but i aint clued up atm)
Cheers

Have a search on the VOC for volvospares-uk. I *believe* (and could be barking up the wrong tree so check for yourself) that some people have had issues with him. I've always picked stuff up from his yard however and not had any problems. I note there isn't an address on the website anymore though.
