Well I want to make a decision but that involves being given information. You think after nearly a week they would be able to give me feedback  :huh:

 :grin: less dead than last night Rhys :shocked: :huh:

After a niggling doubt, and before I splashed out on a replacement gearbox , the original symptoms of a knackered diff/gearbox were rechecked, and despite being in line with that, the noise and rumble just didnt sound right.  :nerd:

So after another spirited drive up on the ramps, it turns out it "Could" be the drive shaft to idler shaft bearing and mount which bolts up to the engine n box hence the same symptoms.  :angry:

So, until that is all swapped out, we cant tell if the box itself is fooked too.  :lipsrsealed:

So for the third time, " never seen that fail " were muttered by the Techs, and we have never stocked the bits ever either !  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Old smoking whistler might live on yet  :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
