the M59 has a vicous coupling on the driveshaft which works as a basic limited slip diff. It also has the better clutch which also fits the M56H (found on normal T-5's)

That's the thing mate. Because he was bull****ting me so much about the car i haven't got a clue what it has and hasn't got. Hopefully Niles and Justin will be able to shed some light on this today. Cheers.

sounds like your going to have a good meet, shame i'm not closer. If you need any parts make sure Niles gets them for you & not Justin, he tends to order the wrong bits lol

sure they fitted the slave cylinder internally on the later cars, can't remember if they changed it when they went S/V70 or changed to ME7 (1999 on)

clutch slave cylinder is outside on the m56. Got 1 in my dining room. Don't tell Mrs Niles, she thinks its some kind of central heating component. lol

Think (will have to check on vadis) they changed to the concentric slave cylinder around 1997/98 (so when they went x70 range). Apparently it was to try and cure a a clutch judder problem (or something vibration related).

What a great idea someone had to put the thing inside the bellhousing and have it integrated in with the release bearing so it would cost 3 times as much to replace FFS.
