Thats a very defeatist attitude

No, Not happy with my choice of car dealer ( some brake fluid and a squeezy bottle will sort that out) but i am happy with the car when it works. I bought the car as i am a keen carp angler and some of the places i fish are a bit out of the way. I also bought the car due to the amount of gear i take fishing with me out grew my old car. Had the car 4 months now and love it to bits but allas i have the VCU, IRd Rear Diff failed. Removed the prop and running on 2wd at the moment. Car is running ok but after checking the oil i found some very disturbing metal deposits in it. Rear diff is also a bit worn too and again metal in the oil. Im an engineer by trade so i have no problems with stripping the old unit and rebuilding it, just need to find a cheap source of parts CWP and seal kit. Bearings i can get from work from the Brammer store although i need the codes if anyone knows them. I can see this site is going to be a great source of knowledge to help me on my way to repairing my car.

Cheers, Mark
