If that is the case, then is this a separate physical unit from the gearbox? Can I replace it without having to change the gearbox as well, as the gearbox appears to be OK.
If yes, has anyone got a spare?
Gidáy Dave, it would seem that the Limited slip clutch is binding. This will cause the symptoms that you have. If there is no code stored in the TCU, the Transfer valve is causing the trouble. If it is the C solenoid there will be a code stored.
Does not matter which it is, the fix is the same, pull the back off the box(don't have to remove the box) and replace the C solenoid/transfer valve as a unit, and a set of new clutch plates. Have only had one other to go bad here in Australia, cost about A$250 to fix.

All the best,
Harvey.
