It’s taken 436 posts and 22 pages but I think we’ve successfully proven that no one on this forum is helpful and that OP is by far and away a high value individual and we’re all betas. Now to match his post length with some AI drivel: Ah...

I don't actually remember saying you were self employed because you are a horrible person.

Ah so that is why you never use one word when ten will do :rolleyes:

There is only 1 output shaft from any gearbox. They change to 4wd drive with that fancy thing called a transfer box. There are many auto boxes used in 2 or 4 wd format. Your arguments show you shouldn’t be allowed to pickup a spanner. J

Roll on P21 . . . . :handbag:

It could leave you on the side of the road trying to change your diffs on a car that you need, so I feel it is quite relevant. Not that you ever did start having any technical discussion. J

I'm sure it will boil for a while yet !!

Nothing that a good few bits of time with apolishing kit shouldn't sort out. I'm tempted but in the wrong country. :(

And when thay do it's like pot holes always a bodg lots of the main supply pipelines are constructed from asbestos (post war ) when disturbed thay leak every where these are the reasons for not fixing leaks as the jobs just snowball

Did you know? (and not a lot of people know this) that Stirling Moss's dad wouldn't let him drive a car around the estate until he could do it in reverse. Fun factoid, I am full of it them tonight!!🤣🤣🤣

Fink I'd better get changed and go "doon the toon" to buy some "Caillés". Producers' market on tonight but I don't fancy it on my own, although I may change my mind and stay depending on who I see there. Anyway we/I have large amounts of...

very good for the environment no life with out water sit and observe, wild life increases 10 fold ,most planning laws now are very limited, you can extend your home without planning consent! !

That would work!!! Italian Tank and all that!!!

Which backs up wot eye said. Thicket was being finked about for a decade before the planning application was submitted.

Brace yourself. But then I guess as W is away, being prodded you have a lot of internet time available in the evenings :). Hope all goes well with W by the way whens she due back? J

Wheels go in oposite directions as you go down the road🤔🤔🤔. Yep conclusion edit incoming:D I had a little think about this with my little bit of Newtons elbow thought I have left. The pulley not being keyed could be the key reason (see what i...

Although this is fun I am seriously considering switching off notification to this thread as I seriously have better things to do than cross swords, or handbags, with this guy with a massive ego problem. Keep on trucking with it peeps as I will...

So one out of three was actually an SUV? Well done! and of course the BMW you mentioned is exactly like a RR, same weight, 4 wheel drive etc etc. Yep your apples still do look much like oranges to me. So you "got me" on the Mercedes M class...

Just in case anyone is sufficiently MASO to want to read his piffle on the other forum: https://www.rangerovers.net/threads/my-crazy-diff-ratio-change-idea.370261/

The rest of that thread went extremely like the one on here!!!! But the other one that did it and said it was fine was NOT doing it to RRs!!! "Actually, on another forum someone said they had done this to three cars and it worked out great for...

So this is the person that knew a person: "I know someone that did a similar thing, because he had a long daily commute. His only complaint was poor acceleration at higher speeds. However, he drove solo with no cargo. If you use a roof rack, or...

We are entitled to breaks don't you know, having one at this very moment

Or RETIRED you dumb@ss.

So you've suddenly found 3 more cases of this? Funny you didn't mention it before. :rolleyes: Links please. And if this really is the case, why don't you naff off and do some work/ get on with buying them and changing them/ find a life for...

Good to know it’s not just me… I’ve come inside for a tea and a distress. I’m going to go rummage around (in the rain) again afterwards. What a mess about!

Mines easy to do. Call them or report it online. Gorra get the right company responsible for the location. There will be priority fer wot reports come in. Ours gives feedback if they find it or call to ask fer more info if they can't.

Peeps on my local "Nextdoor" are always reporting leaks and often nothing gets done at all. A lot of our area is not supplied by Bournemuff Water.

I once did similar on a Dolly Sprint engine, it was one that attached the timing chain sprocket to the camshaft. It fell in the sump. Getting it out again was messy, very messy, but I did it without having to drain the oil. Had to get the sump...

Its not hiding under the cam is it? Are they small enough to fit down one of the oild drains from the head down? If not then hope fully it hasnt gone all the way down. Do you still have the under engine gaurd on? Please dont tell me you are...

If it went down one of the oil returns, chances are it's in the sump ? From that angle, my bet would be it bounced on chassis or drive shafts & is lodged or stuck to an oily bit below. If it hit the ground it could have bounced anywhere...
