    Using different size tyres on back and front axles .... is it detramental ??

    it shouldnt damage the diffs as there open diff and are built to have both wheels spinning at different speeds,it there was a bigger difference it would cause damage over a period of time,just dont engage diff lock as then there is no axial speed difference alowance

    headgasket replaced 2 days ago - problems!

    personaly(being a mechanic) id bring it straight back,they done the job and it wasnt done right so must finish it. in case the HG is gone again get it owed so they have no way out of saying you done the damage

    where to begin with a restoration
