Hi there, I looked yesterday - dodging the rain. I could not check the oil as the filler plug is plastic and would not shift - I have ordered a replacement in brass. Jacking up the OSF wheel, there is a rumble as it turns. This could be either the hub bearing or the diff. Looking through the 'I...

No not a posh one - my hair has all fallen out so I couldn't pull my forelock. I work in Special Schools, so have been in work all of this last year.
