You mention the clutch slipping,Saskia was doing that the other night (10 mile 
journey), put has been fine since (although I have purposely not driven her on 
longer distances).  

Sounds like this again points to the diff...

cheers

My best (worse?) test of that was when my RX-7 managed to unbolt its pumpkin 
and went dry for god knows how many weeks.  It was the loss of my limited slip 
clutches that got me under the car exploring when I found the unit open, bone 
dry, and rather grimy inside.  I bolted it back together, put oil in it, 
crossed my fingers and hoped for the best (I was really poor at the time).  I 
sold the car several years later, with an additional hundred thousand miles on 
the differential, and it was still going fine.  Whining a bit, clutch pack long 
burned out, but still functioning.
