I guess it could do since when that happens that side will very suddenly get all the power sent to it and spin quickly while the speed of the other side doesn't change.
I'd not bother paying £80, these parts are the same in any 085 gearbox (and likely 084 too I reckon). Should be easy to find spares. Nick has offered some, I think I threw all mine away a while ago since I've not used a standard diff for some time now!
