I've cleaned the rust off the diff, and the handbrake cable has arrived.
I'd done the diff before, but it was very rusty and lots flaked off. I'm waiting for the day when it becomes porous - that will be a very bad day.
I used Jenolite to try to neutralise the rust, but I'm going to give this stuff a try...

That’s what I applied over mine Gary after getting the diff to clean metal. I also applied a rubberised paint underneath before finishing with Hammerite smooth. My car has only been stood there since I did but no rust has reappeared since.
