That's not less than ideal.  That's sub-optimal.

Neither! Wish it was as I have a spare lump which could be raided for parts.

For whatever reason the diff's gone and the oils the gear oil dumping out. It stunk.

Forgot to say I pieced this thing back together and it ran out of fuel before I got to work

Have you binned it then?

Title: Re: Less than ideal
Post by: archie837 on 28 August 2012, 15:12

yep. box in, but won't engage gears so think there is a bit of a diff stuck behind the pressure plate.

Can;t muster myself to spend the time dropping the box again, plus the money for a full clutch overhaul and tax is due too.

A man is hopefully coming this weekend to take it away and have it.

Bit of a p1sser as we still owe money on it, but I am not throwing anymore at it.

Mk3 tank wagon - £500 taxed and tested over my effort and time on the black car all day every day long.

As long as there is a breath left in my body, I will never own a mk4 again.

Oh dear.....
...but sounds like you picked up a good replcament for the money then.  Diesel estates of any kind can be hard to find for a fair price these days.
