Get a jackaroo rear diff of the 91 variety, they are the same as the MU 89 to 93' with disc hand brake. Centres are the same as long as the have the 2.8td engine (or you will have to swap centres as the diff housing is the same)...

Is there a way of keeping my standard diff and just swaping over the stuff i need, so I have a disk brake rear? As I dont really want to swap diffs as i have air backets and 4 link brackets already welded on.

Cheers
Ben

Yeah not sure about that but I would think they would be interchangable if they were the same width which I think they are.

I was just thinking about it again and you would be better off if you can find a 94 model on MU with the 3.1 or 3.1/v6 Jack as these have a handbrake as a drum inside the disc and would be easier with handbrake cables.
