E53 D-Sport 2005 - Rear Diff Failure

UK - West Midlands - I need a replacement diff.

Here's one for you Guys...
My D-Sport 218 rear diff broke up this evening on the way home from work today.
Left hand side supporting output bearing is burst of the casing, ball bearings & bits of smashed steel fell into the road.

so, the big question is..... for the 2005 3.0 218hp Diesel Sport....

is there a variety of rear Diffs for this contraption ???

This is possibly a question for Richard.

Any help welcomed.....
