Try this: Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip 75w-140.
It completely stopped the hot diff roundabout exit judder and is the only oil that works in my bongo.

I have been having juddering problems with the LSD [rwd] and have posted (rwd diff problem} about it and the possible
effects of the diff oil.Please could you tell me more about your original problems.I came to the conclusion that the temp of the diff was an issue i.e I only have juddering probs after driving on motorways so I would like to know more about the oil you reccomend and any ideas of why it cures the problem.
