Am I correct in thinking the gearbox casing and diff casing are matched together?
I have split the diff casing and need a new one, but should I try to source another whole gearbox with diff casing?

They are machined as one. Not generally a good idea to mix and match them up.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

you are correct, they are machined as a pair.

Get a set of bore gauges and try a new diff cover on. If the openings are still round then you should be OK.

It's a pretty big crack and I'm no good with a welder

take it to someone who is good with the tig and they may be able to repair it.

Will it bolt up to the other half of the case properly though?

That could be welded, the way to do it once it was as clean as possible and a prep ground into the crack would be to bolt it hard up to the rest of the gearbox, and then weld it.

Even if you have it done and it doesn't weld well, you haven't really lost anything.

Yer it bolts up to the gearbox with no problem. I have to get the gearbox and diff rebuilt so will ask around and see if I can get it welded with the rebuild.

If you get that good and clean you will be able to ally solder it with that techno weld stuff and a big blow torch,

I did a sump on an astra GTE and it worked a treat, just pre heat in the oven on full, then blast it with the torch and get the solder in there.
