Well that will teach me .....

After all the statements I have made recently about how strong the FS is on threads about breakages Murphy had to show up for a swift butt kicking didn't he.




I am sad to report the death of an old friend. After three and a half years of solid and loyal service the crown gear on my one-way diff passed on last night.

Seriously though 3.5 years hard service for a crown wheel attached to one-way diff is damn impressive I'd say! Can't think of any other 4wd cars that would have taken that sort of abuse.
Not even 100% sure it wasn't my ownfault either as when I rebuilt the car last time (months ago) I just put the shims back in where they came out from rather than checking.

I might even go crazy and open the rear gearbox and rebuild that too, after all LA200 does come with enough gears to rebuild 2 diffs, 2 pinions and a one-way for less than £6

You're spoiling that car you are.

You need to drive harder

[tisher]
