I thought series 2 onwards was 3.23:1 .... Series 1 carried over the EL 3.08s ... from memory.

There is a label (sticker) on the drivers side of the diff ... on the actual axle housing near the back of the brake shield ... it might need a clean to read it though .... this will tell you exactly what your vehicle has.
