Ed,

cost from Ashcrofts was £195 plus vat  - painful!

supposed to be very good units though - good reputation

Regards
Dave

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the offer mate.
This'll make you all smile.

The recovery guy said it was his last job of the day. He filled in my details on his paperwork and computer. Asked for my home address and then asked where it was being recovered to.

John o' Groats said I.
His jaw fel through the floor before he realised.

Also he said if I had to be winched on then I'd have to pay extra.
I pointed to my winch and he laughed and said he'd love to tell his boss that someone had to be winched on but he hadn't charged them. Then tell him I had my own winch.

They charge £30 to winch a vehicle on board.

David,

Thanks for that info. It would be a last resort at the moment. These things have a habit of happening at the wrong time.

In all my years off-roading, I can't ever remember seeing someone break a carrier !!

Plenty of planet pins, a few broken teeth and a good number of damaged diff pans.....   but the carrier !!!!

If you can't get a diff, Ashcroft stuff tends to be well put together.  I got my torque converter from them, service was excellent.

My commiserations

Hi Tim,

A "Managed to smash the diff carrier Mud Award" would more than make up for the pain and suffering whilst valiantly trying to uphold the clubs prestigious name.

G'wan Tim you know ya really really wanna'.

Ed
PS Will be in touch about stickers.

Wanderer:
