Hmm... same design - think only gearing is different.
You need a JB3 053 which has the same number off teeth as the JC5 014 (Willi) and JC5 053 (Megane). Should fit...
Other versions from 19 16v will also fit.

Are you sure you cant fit a new circlip?
This can be done with the box still in the car.
Has the edge of the diff itself been damaged?

cheers micheal,
yeah the diff is damaged quite a bit and there is not much meat left for the circlip to hold in nice an firm. ive been thinkin of running a seem weld around after fitting a new clip, would this be bad? ive been told it will just blow other side of box out but surley it take alot more abuse to do that??? any advice would be apprieciated.

The JC5 box has taper roller bearings in place of ball bearings on the JB boxes so not sure about interchangeablity of diff parts. Also the latest JC 5 boxes (ie new exchange boxes from Renault) have the sunwheel/tripod housing retained by a plate bolted to the crown wheel instead of the dreaded circlip method. Don't know if this helps you?
