Been trying to work out why gearboxes and driveshafts and diffs are still used, especially on 4x4s, with the addition of a transfer gearbox and driveshafts at both ends. Whats wrong with an engine mated to an electric generator feeding two or four electric motors at the wheels, So much simpler...

Advised on three areas of corrosion underneath. Both inner sills at the rear, and the body support bracket on the rear offside. Looks like that bracket is spot welded on, and its gone between the spots, easy to get at except its near the fuel tank. The boot floor is looking a a bit iffy from...

94 300 Tdi manual. 5th gear has recently become very noisy when under power at above about 55mph. All other gears are quiet and the box is smooth, I have 3 litres of atf in the shed to go in it. but I have the feeling that that wont make much difference, as it would appear to be worn bearings on...
