With the handbrake off (parked overnight) there was no locking of the wheels in the morning! I drove a short spell, parked up, applied the handbrake... On my return, the back wheels were locked. Therefore as suggested I now understand it to be a brake problem and not a final drive problem...

Let's hope!

I'll leave the handbrake off tonight, see if they stick in the morning, if not its a final drive problem and will check the oil in the day... If it is a final drive problem, will topping it uo with oil be the solution> Or, will there be damage to the gearwhels in the differential as it says in...

Thank you so much, I'll do all the things above and let you know how it Goes! Thanks

Hi Howardo, It sounds fine when driving, there was a slight grating from the back wheel passenger side after driving through lots of water, but it seems fine now. How should I go about checking the handbrake and what's the final drive thing? Thanks, Wilma :hippie:
