Many thanks, particularly to James. It took 4 hours to get recovered 7 miles. Fecking joke. I'm off work Thursday so will dust off my tools and set about getting going again. Had to drive 100yards or so in diff lock from main road to my house as recovery couldn't get any closer. Hopefully no...

Can you tell this is new to me! I have been through about 18" water about 5 mins before it broke. Would that have owt to do with it?

Bung underneath on Ali housing. And it did clunk out of drive.

Update-drain plug is missing from the gear box. I have a v dry gearbox. Pants.

I'm waiting for someone now. Going to be a long wait me thinks!

Thanks for quick replies. Not likely I'm fixing this at roadside then! Looking forward to a wait for the RAC then.

Apologies for not using search but I'm out on me own with limited mobile coverage! I've lost drive in high and low box unless I lock the diff. Any pointers I can try with a weak torch and minimal tool kit? Help greatfully received!

Have a look:D

No chance of me seeing you round our way then!

Where on humberside are you? North or south of the river.

Ive a leaking steering box too. Is it an MOT failure? Reason i ask is that i have a service record from previous owner that noted the steering box was leaking in '09. Its had 2 more MOTs since then too?

WBAC get commission for every £x they knock of the estimate price. They will literally find any excuse to drop the price.

Use hand signals:p

Are any of the dash lights working? Seen an earthing problem cause a similar problem.

Where does insurance stand with drunk drivers? Do they still payout or do you have to make a claim against the driver personally for costs?
