the 130 has no speedo drive, as cars fitted with it read from the abs sensor, you'll need a 129 box with a 130 diff or better still chuck a quaife in there
I have a box that will fit
So i will have to buy the 129 and the 130 diff separate or does the 129 box have the same diff as the 130.. i dont quite understand that part of your reply

sorry, the 129 has a circlip diff but a diff out of a 130 is bolted and is a straight swap,
so fit a diff out of a 130, or bypass all problems and fit a quaife atb diff,
if you are in the midlands area @NorthloopCup might have a 130 diff he will sell you.

Yeah clear as mud.
Basically a 130 won't work in your ph1, but a 129 will.
Unless you put a 130 diff in a 129, but that will need someone to essentially build you a gearbox.

Ok, thanks for the info.
Second option (because im not throwing away money on a car thats done nothing but give me grief)
did a burn out up my lane as wanted to show off before getting new tyres, i drove it pretty hard for that day too, and then when i was driving nice and slow and sensible the circlip must of gone (speedo still goes up when revved).
Iv ordered a new circlip and washer, is it a big job to get the thing welded in? as im sure the diff needs to be taken out to do so.
if i go down the renfort plate route how much of a job is that to get the holes drilled etc
(trying to establish the cheapest and less hastle free route for the gearbox shop)
btw all of this will be carried out by my local gearbox shop as i dont have the time to do these big jobs not with my work

Just bung another 129 in it and stop doing burnouts. lol
Haha yeah fair one.
You can weld it in place
Iv heard they still pop out though?
