Let me add to the confusion lol
I contacted MFactory directly. No real harm using 75W140 daily apparently.

edit: tried uploading screenshot of conversation. Let's try again

Thanks mate, hope you enjoyed the read
I'm not sure which part you are referring to sorry. About the only part that I have not changed is the dashboard itself which is biege on the bottom half

Thanks Sam. Epic effort reading the whole thread mate. There is a easy version called celebrating 60 mods which skips all the banter and chit chat. Appreciate your kinds words mate

So far so good mate. No smoke but they don't seem to pull as hard as RBs but that might just be something to do with the tune. Meanwhile car is in for LSD install and seems the diff builder has hit a problem. Mfactory LSD seems to be short??? Only spoke briefly to Active so not sure what the problem is or what options are open. Not looking good re getting car back for the weekend. Part number from seller matches my make and model so not sure what the issue is. Will keep you posted

I have to speak to Active and the diff builder tomorrow to see exactly what the problem is. If it's a sizing issue and they want to put in another LSD I'll give you a call mate

'Sizing issue'? Sounds a bit vague, should be the correct part. Whos building the diff?

I've heard of a 2008 E90 AT which had a large pumpkin diff fitted, does your car definately have the small pumpkin diff socks?

(that's the only sizing issue I can think of?)

No idea Actives contract diff builder. Apparently has done lots of these already. I'm guessing it's a backlash thing which is odd because I supplied a full set of shims to make it easy for them. I'll find out more
