How do I find out wether this will fit my 1997 SWB 16v 1.6 Vit, I haven't the faintest idea how many teeth my rear diff has but I know it is just about had it as it clunks on set off.

Thanks Simon, I think I will give this one a miss as it looks like it may be wrong for me.

You tell me mate, your the expert  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: .

Seriously though I have no idea, I'm beginning to wonder if this was originaly a diesel model but I thought that diesel wasn't available in SWB in 1997  :?  :?
