Bah! td5 110 csw 7.00 M5 Taunton 60mph .... pop, brrrr brrrr brrrrr - at least hid under a bridge to get family out of the rain! No drive at all, just grumbly buzzing noises from the rear diff. Relay home - good service from the AA, but still 3.30 am when we got in.
Can get drive with diff locked (tho wouldn't have driven home like that with diff likely to lock up any moment), with a few sound effects from the diff, but I'd guess there is little more damage to be done.
Gentle drive to local independent and enquiries made to a recommended source on here for either a recon or rebuild my own - we'll see what is left inside tomorrow I guess......... I assume if the crown wheel is gone it could be a waste of time?
That's life - I just expected some warning? It's had pretty bad backlash since new, and got a bit worse lately to the point I was looking around at recons anyway. Had a small rumble on overrun last week or so, but didn't rate it as serious, could have even been a bearing as far as I had thought about it.
See what tomorrow brings...... Thought I'd get it off my chest!! A
