Default Rumbling diff!!

Now that I've got my car running in test mode, one of the issues I have is the amount of noise coming from between the seats and presumably from the diff.

Am running a Jag LSD and to my ears it is very noisy but I have very limited exposure to other similar diffs in action. The car has no insulation or upholstry yet but I doubt this would reduce the noise by much. The noise level varys with power on and backing off but disappears completely with clutch depressed.

Firstly does it appear I have an old cluncker of a diff that needs attention or might it be another source? This wouldn't surprise me given the state of some of the front suspension parts I have replaced to date - my kit was a roller from previous hands, so it's all their fault!!

If the diff. can anyone recommend a reputable Melbourne diff specialist, as I understand getting Jag diffs right and to suit our lighter application is a somewhat dying art.

I look forward to any advice anyone can throw my way.

Cheers
