Well, folks the work was completed, but only this afternoon. Diff filled, not leaking now. Engine oil and filter changed. Handbrake adjusted, dealt with a vacuum leak on the servo. Car running nicely. Oh and yesterday the temperature sender decided to fail. Now replaced with a used one. Washed the car and re fitter the bumper with new fixings.
We set off for an overnight stay just north of Preston and the car fought back. Just 2 miles down the road and one side of the gearbox rear mounting gave way. AA called and when arrived with much screeching to get the car 700 yds up the road to a safe place all was fixed . But I do now have a very shiny centre to my new propshaft.
We drove on via some friends whom did stop to help prior to the AA arriving for a cup of tea. Thanks Dave and Dorinda. Now in a very nice hotel for the night and so far after 200+ miles of incident free motoring!
To everyone have a safe journey to the National and hopefully without problems like ours.
ooh and the new half shafts are great well worth it much smoother no clunks or sudden jolts cornering.
