It was a pig to get off, not sure how anyone would manage it without a 4 post!!

Also think I've found the culprit to the pulling to one side when accelerating/changing gear.
The passengers diff output flange has a load of play in it, so I've bought an open diff to fit.
My theory is perhaps this side isn't transmitting as much power, and with the diff welded is causing a bit of an imbalance.

Mine broke in the middle of town, I made one from two metal plates. I had to fit it in the pitch black, it lasted for a few months until I got a new polyurethane one which only took me about 30 mins to fit on the drive. Don't want to sound like I'm bragging or anything.

Fair enough, it didn't take that long it was just awkward.

Diff definitely knackered, clunk when letting off/accelerating now and diff has gone back to open.
Suspect one wheel drive.

Will go and pick up diff I bought tomorrow in the 340 and fit it asap.

Okay so the diff is definitely gubbed, Dai suggested the welds have broken in the diff.
Previous owner welded it so I'm not sure how well it's been done.
I'm hopeful that this is the issue because I can fix this tomorrow night no problem.
The 340 is my only working car and it's misfiring intermittently.
No luck.

Opened the diff and found this monstrosity

Rewelded it properly and it's all good, doesn't pull to the left anymore either.
There was some big bits of weld floating about so it's a miracle none of them got munched.

Diff shat itself again so changed it today.

Gearbox etc out.. was a pain.

However, who needs transmission jacks??

If it's stupid and it works - it's not stupid

Looks like a transmission jack to me

True. Some more highly-advanced transmission jack photography...
