Just ordered some new front suspension bushes from my local FMD - guy asks for the reg number, taps it in to his computer and says ' Oh, that's a rare one !' Why ? I ask and he says it has a 3.91 rear axle ratio instead of the normal 4.27.
Anyone comment on this ?

I reckon the 2.3 has a 3.91 diff,the 2.0 16v has the 4.27 and the FMD gent no doubt is trying to blind you with suspension bush science !!

Just found out..... the manual is wrong
The correct ratios are:
2.0 EFI 115 hp 4.09
2.0 16V 136 hp 4.27
2.3 16V 147 hp 3.91
2.5 TD VM 3.36
2.9 12V 3.64
2.9 24V 3.64

I reckon that table could just be misprinted as it does'nt show the 3.91 diff at all !
