Sudden Bang

[stuartgb100]

A 250 mile round trip to Verve ( see For Sale section ) seems to have been an ezpensive outing.

1 mile from home .... a big bang .... taking a corner at 20 mph ..... then total loss of drive. Coasted to a stop.

Decided that:

On the downside ........ sounds like a new diff.
On the plus side ......... I had one in the boot (just bought from Verve).

Did a roadside diff swap-out in 30 mins (as you do).

Yeah, right.

Managed to get a tow home, but serious "grinding" type noises from the diff area on the way.

Guess what's on Sunday's agenda ........... because the planned family Bar-b-Q is now definitely on the back burner !

First time let down in 4 years.

BTW Verve has 4 sets of good rims (some with good boots), 2 sets of steel for a Plus 2, and 2 sets of Minilites for a Plus 0 ( 1 set is new).

Right, time for an early night.

Regards,
Stuart.
