hi there
there was/is, afair, a small difference in where 'older' diffs bolts on to. highlander might remember more about it.
BTW, NO scorpio has a LSD diff. best remind your garage that they're working on a scorpio, not a Granada!

You can just swap over the rear diff housing to convert between the two types, and correct should not have LSD.

£160!! I'm in the wrong business!!
Yep they are all interchangeable, the backplates have either the early single mount or the later double mounts

hi there
you need to remember that a lot of the smaller garages are on Christmas rate for a the whole of December! 
a fair price is one that you're happy enough with.
