Default Diff problems!

This doesn't look too clever, is the diff a particular weakpoint?

Think the Diff is the weak point of big powered cars.

Phil has a tweaked one, apparently the stocker was a short way of expiring.

And that car sounds NA .. it spends FAR too long in gear.

Makes a similar sound to mine when the diff failed, I think it was broken when i bought it, but just making a minor ticking sound. Eventually made very nasty loud noise, took to the dealer (Outside of Warrenty by 3 months and only 22K miles) they said bits of metal fell out of the diff

Honda coughed up for a new one as such a low mileage, had almost two years of no problems (apart from the alarm) after that
