Any news on the problems yet nick?
Nope. Was going to start tonight, but knackered so am putting it off. Dinner will be ready in 25 mins, then its an early night to prepare me for a proper go at it tomorrow evening!
nick I'm trying to do a right up for you.
Sorry Pete missed your reply.. I can certainly enquire .. A mate of mine owns his own direct mail and printing company, i'm sure we can arrange summat.. Is Derek not already not aquired the job ??You volunteering mate ?
Well, the car is now well and truly jacked up. The driveshafts are all okay, as when I spin a front wheel, the other front wheel rotates in the opposite direction and the propshaft clunks as it takes up the slack in the rear diff.
Next step is to start stripping it all down I guess.
I think that this means the transfer box is okay to a point, too, as there is no grinding / rattling as I spin the wheels. So my best guess at the moment is the join between the t/f box and the gearbox.
Any closer to the source of the problem Nick?
The driveshafts and propshaft are now off. The transfer box is loose but still in place. I am relatively sure that the gearbox is to blame for my woes, but I have not yet proved that!
Well I broke it!
I think what I have broken is the output shaft. Graham has done this in the past, I think, so I guess that a rise in power tests this particular component.
I shall post some pictures up soon!
MASSIVE thanks to all who came and helped me finish the job. Especially to Rich who didn't stop working all weekend! Top bloke. Rich and Wouter are starting to sound like an old married couple whilst working on cars!!
Thanks also to Mo for a good deal on the replacement box.
All in all a good weekend for me - if a little expensive!
I'm back!!
Glad to hear it! Shame its always expensive bits that break! Still, its the nature of the beast!
Here is the broken bit. I have only one thing to say........
RAW POWER!!!
Are you still sure we cant straighten it Nick ??

Bern there was quite a discussion about that sat night, and the out come is i think that nick will be investigating this using the old box to strip down and have a look.
