In 22+ years of Carlton and Omega ownership I've found syphoning all remaining oil from the diff and replacing with new ,then repeating that 2K later (effectively flushing out the gunge) resolved any diff noise .
as long as you don't have a bad leak 

The self flushing system..

After 16 years of Omega's i've only had to have one diff fitted with new seals and one rebuilt with new bearings, the chap said it's quite common that when one of the bearings fail the others follow shortly after as the swarf mixes with the diff fluid and turns it into an abrasive soup! Oh and bearings for Omega Diffs are pretty hard to come by now  :'(

what ? leave the bad leak and just fit a diff oil tank and top it up daily ?

I have been looking around for another diff, just incase replacing oil on wifes car, doesn't solve the problem.

I have found one, that is from a 03.1997 2.0 16V petrol 100kW 136PS (X20XEV) with a 5-speed manual transmission (GJ 062 97 A). From my understanding, even though this one is a manual and the wifes is a auto the gear ratio is the same one on the wifes car. Is that correct?

Thanks for all your help.

That is correct
