You're in luck if you're near Datatek. There's a man who likes to tinker.

Cannot get in there to check! I'm going to have to have a clear out again. I even kept that tensioner bracket that cracked. God knows what I thought I was going to do with it.

Most likely thing to cause the diff to fail is the VCU seizing, I would have thought. Think the front one tends to go first though in that instance. Never had it myself so uncertain. Also, the rear driveshafts are glued into the hubs. When the Loctite glue fails you get a click as you change from forward to reverse or the other way around. The click isn't loud, you need the windows down to hear it. Any kind of play cannot be good for the drivetrain in my mind so I'd check that. Other than that I suspect you were just unlucky. Change the fluid in the diffs regularly and it should be OK.
