At a guess, if your doing only 50 mph at 3000rpm, then i would say that you
probably have a 4.11:1 Diff, My MkIV has a 3.89:1 diff and does 60mph at 3000
revs in fourth gear without overdrive engaged.

Any other advice out there, other than don't look at school girls whilst
driving in the wet(I don't think I mentioned it was wet before did I).
