Rear Axle probs

[tymbian]

Hi peeps, this is a bit of a strange request. I have been told when giving a diff specialist the numbers off of a dismantled crown-wheel that these might be Transit single-wheel diff-ratios

The numbers are 5 1 319178 then 456099

he particularly said the 456 was Transit.

The problem I have is that the planetry-gears have been welded up on a Minibus I bought ( twin-wheel RWD Renault Mascott y-reg 2001 ( using Iveco 2.9td engine & 6sp Iveco box )) Renault are asking £850+VAT for the planetry-gear assembly....My thoughts are that if the crown-wheel is from Transit chances are the diff is as well or renault are using Transit axles for this model, in which case locating a Transit Axle is going tb be easier than locating a Mascott axle.

Wheels are 5-lug

Any info at all is greatly appreciated even info steering me to someone that can help.

Kind regards

Can you show us a pic of the diff?

let me know if these pics are enough. Briefly looking I can't seem to find any numbers on the axle itself. There are some numbers etched onto the side of the CW which I con post if needed.

Its definately not a diff carrier from a pre '00 transit im afraid... although the axle casing does look similar to that of a six studder.

I belive the internals on the rear axles up to '06 are almost identical to the earlier ones so I doubt it would be one of them either

Can anyone recognise this from anything else?
