Lack of oil???? Try bone dry! The garage said that when they went to drain it the equivalent size of a thumbnail drop of oil fell to the floor so the diff pretty much welded itself together! Thank the Lord I bought a diff outright and didn't have to exchange the unit otherwise that would have...

After my last update on Xmas Eve, I had a call from the garage at 5pm on the 21st saying that they were nearly finished and if I didn't hear from them on the 22nd, then I could finally be reunited with my long lost pal today. Alarm set early for a day off 23rd and I realised that the...

Woo hoo, landed at 0850 this morning!!! Will be onto the garage first thing Monday morning. Merry Christmas all, have a good one :):):):):)

When I get the old girl back, I must post a picture up so you can all see what the fuss has been about :)

Thanks for the replies peeps, it got better just after I sent that last message! Even though I was tasked with finding the part myself, I came on here to let my new buddies know where I was up to and the second job was to search ....... If only I'd done it the other way around!! Sourced the...

Just got really excited five minutes ago when I saw my Landy garage ringing me on my mobile. The excitement didn't last long though :( Where I was hoping the news was that they'd got it fixed before Chrimbo turned out to be the news that as much as they know what is wrong, still the front...

Just had a great call from my Landy garage. They've just had a quick look at it and it's only the front diff so no gearbox troubles! Monday the 15th looking better than Monday the 8th :) They opened up the diff to see the condition of the oil and the crud magnet etc and the whole unit was...

Here's hoping.... Will post an update on here when I get in touch with the little tinker :o

Thanks Will. I'm gonna have a go at the dealer when I can get hold of him but the main thing is I want to get my new toy back so I've told the garage to get on with it! Mighty brave or mighty stupid ....... we'll see :)

Yeah I've kind of stopped fretting now to be honest and put it into perspective. Not to go into too many details, my Mums getting over the C word so the car is only metal and money is only paper so hey ho, all's well with the world :) I don't think the box has been swapped but one of my...

They're flat out at the mo so they are starting work on it on the 22nd of this month and then it's just the waiting game I'm afraid ...... Hopefully if luck goes my way (let's face it, it's long overdue) and it turns out to be the diff and not gearbox related, then it should only be a matter...

Trust me, it sounded like it exploded!!!!

I would but it's in the car that's at the Landy garage now :( It was about 5 inches in diameter and there were three small prongs about an inch long sticking out of it although it looked like there should have been four with the spacing of them. One of the remaining prings had a small bit of...

Thanks for that, very interesting. I'll be giving him a ring in the morning and I'll post an update. There could be light at the end of the tunnel after all ..........

Ah I now see the logic in your thinking ........ And a very true comment I must add :eek:

Oi just thought, you've been talking to me about it in my other post yer pudding! ;)

I think if I do that I'll never stop:D

Thank you as always. Looking at one of those pics, I did pick something off the road that was circular and had a few knobbles on it and it would appear to be that diff size. It was the only thing lying in the road but at the time it could have just been off anyone's random car! My first...

Only thing I can do with mine is look at the picture of it on my pc as my screen saver after what happened yesterday. 41 years old 6 foot 2 1/2 213 lbs Crying like a baby :mad2:
