Just a thought, some TU5 cars (our '97 XS for one) have the BE box fitted so be sure it's correct if buying a replacement online. I believe the easy way to tell "on car" is to look at the hub nut. MA cars have a peened over lock nut whereas BE cars have a larger CV joint with a collar and R pin to lock it. (is my understanding anyway, happy to be corrected by those more knowledgeable)
We've got a decent MA here but it's off a 1.4HDi 206 so the ratios wouldn't be great I don't think & it's hydraulic clutch. Having said that, if the diff tooth count is similar I could just pull the diff out (good bearings) and give you the housing as well in case that's been damaged. How to find the tooth count on the ring gear though?
