I guess I need to try it with a chopped weight off if I can find a spare one. Only thing indent want it it locked when not under load and driving it steady round carparks etc.

In my experience, after the G80 locks up, it stays locked up until you lift your foot off the gas pedal. It just won't lock up about the 25+/- mph.
It has clutches, so even when locked up, it allows some differential action similar to a limited slip differential. |

I had a 1988 740T for several years which had a Converse Conversion, Ford 5 liter with T5. When I bought the car it had the original open 3.73 differential. I bought and installed a 3.31 ratio G80 live rear axle from a 1992 945. The G80 withstood all of the abuse my son and I could give it. The G80 has an undeserved reputation for weakness.
