is there any group buys going on soon that anyone knows of.
I'd be in for a Quaife unit. Reckon we'd need 10 for any sort of discount.
i will be up for one if it gets going.
Me too (Quaife)
have you rang Quaife to see if they have any in stock? Or Gripper, which type do you want?
I'd be up for one too but yeah as Hayesey says someone needs to get in touch with Quaife. How many did they get on the club lupo group buy?
well I was more meaning they might just have one or two on the shelf negating the need for a group buy
Right I've had a reply back from Quaife. For 10 people we would get 10% discount on the £585+vat price. It would need one person to co-ordinate it and they would all have to be delivered to one place. So you would get a discount of £58.50 but then would need to pay for postage. I suppose if using parcel 2 go or something it would be £7.50 for the postage, so would be about a £50 saving.
oryt lads, i would also be interested in a lsd am going to get round to rebuilding my box at some point throught winter hopfully so would be wise to go to town and fit a lsd diff whilst i am in there :),
cheers
shall we get this going then as i dont fancy waiting around for months on end.
im aiming to get one in before march so if anyone is up for it lets do it.
Isn't there an ongoing issue with Quaife L.S.D's at this time or in the immediate past? Poor bearing seating iirc.
there was a manufacturing error on the bearing seat but they have sorted it out now.
One of the bearing housings was too small on mine they rectified the problem pretty quick although I'd still check it prior to fitting, if any one gets one. Especialy if your wanting a quick turn around to get the box back on the car.
I'd like to test a Quaife and see how it compares to a Gripper.
If people are interested I can ring them in the new year and see if we can get a group buy any cheaper through Polo-PP.
i no longer need a L.S.D...
I have just bought the gearbox with the new gripper l.s.d from the for sale section.
The timing of the group buy and level of discount will determine if I'm in or out chaps. If it's for a couple of months time, sounds good. If it's more immeadiate I've got other priorities at the moment I'm sorry to say.
yes depending on price and funds at the time i would also be interested

That would be top Andy. You may have more buying power than man in the street.
Just out of interest is there a rough date for when this might go ahead? Getting my gearbox recon as its bust and thought if this is goes ahead before the end of feb i will definitely get one. If not i might have to look to get one for my recon.
Where is a good place to get the quaife lsd from?
I know that TSR do a 10% discount at the moment and i read on club gti that if they get more than 5 people they do a 20% discount. Wether thats for the G40 QDF20R diff.

You're welcome to get re-acquainted with mine when it's back mate...
TSR will probably be your best bet then for a discount as they will have bulk buying power due to servicing various VAG models. I reckon you'd be looking at around a 20 polo unit ordrer for them to beat all the group buy prices. Quaife are offering free delivery (online purchases) at the moment on the email I got couple of weeks back.
Got my Quaife back after the first batch problem; it was a re-worked unit this time. Fitted it into my gearbox with no trouble. Just need to swap gearboxes over now ;D
