Hi Bob, do give us updates when you get a moment (as if...).
Fingers crossed etc and wishing you every success in sorting it out.

well, finally managed to get a 4-pin (fitted to the rear of 4.6L) but not from the upullit site…
car was stuffed in amongst 14 others, on gravel and sitting on its hubs.
there was no way I was going to get that easily (although I did get a bottom windscreen finisher and all the wee clips).
hot-footed it over to GEMM4x4 in Larbert where they had one but, oh my, what a battle…
it took 4 1/2 hours to liberate and wouldn’t have happened had the owner, George, not come to my rescue, a real gentleman and complete enthusiast. Much grinding later and I have the diff and it looks lovely -never ceases to surprise me how a rust-ridden shell can contain the most gorgeous, shiny goodies inside.
now to get it fitted, but that’s a job for tomorrow !
-Big shout out to anyone in the central belt who needs parts or advice, you could do a lot worse than talk to George at GEMM4x4 -he really know his onions

Perhaps add in a scene where outside the scrapyard you are accosted by an angry mob (3 people with banners, 12 cameramen, 6 reporters, 24 policemen) - they are chanting that you should not wear Savile Row suits when stripping a poor defenceless diff from it's resting place. Or something similar.SO awkwardbobs driving along,call him Bruce
