Cracked in 3 spots the whole way round and a large amount of wear on some of the gears. Surprised I even made it to the workshop without it going bang. Harrop truetrac has been ordered along with new seals and bearings.

Labour would be considerable though, I had 15 total hour for the whole lot but I think rear out and in would be like 3-4 hours? Someone else might know more accurately.

Even buying it retail in 1L bottles is $30/litre. http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/Castrol-SAF-XA-Limited-Slip-Rear-Axle-Oil-80W-140-1-Litre.aspx?pid=66663#RecommendationsI'm curious... how did they manage to use up $81 of diff oil?

Maybe faster than disassembly to clean it. Drives way better now. Looking forward to work today as I've only driven it 20 minutes so far.
