I will run it for the first time at Batley on Sunday, but will I find that over time the plates will slip more and more as they all settle in and the grease turns runny due to the heat?
The strange thing was they never came loose but it made that screaming noise like your diff was about to fall apart.

It only did this towards the end of a run, last 1-2 minutes, but at the start of a run the car feels like you have a normal diff in. Like you say there is a heat process which causes this.

The plates will have settled after a few minutes of running, so it's not going to just happen at a random time, be prepared for it to start straight away when running on high grip surfaces.
