Went to get my puncture fixed this afternoon and the guys spend 20mins trying to find it.

turned out that it was mud on the bead of the tyre preventing it from sealing properly - wonder how that got there!

Dave,

I think you came to the rescue of more than one of us :D

Anyway, TD5 is back up and running, though it feels a little lumpy and the cruise control doesn't work any more (but the light does come on the switch). Will have to get the 'new' ECU seen to some time.

Have started to take the old one apart, but can't see any obvous signs of water or dirt in there. Will give it a wash anyway and see how it goes.

See you all soon, if I'm allowed out in SWMBO's motor again :shock:

Dave,

Hopfully next week :o

You have my most sincere condolences Gary...

If you need anything just give one of us a yell...

A snorkel and a set of armbands would seem to be a plan...

My work mates have already offered me an outboard or oars depending on how fit I feel

If I remember when I entered the quarry you were flying round like a ferret up a trouser leg, unfortunately it wasn't the mud that did for you it was the car wash :lol:

But glad to hear we'll see you again

A friend of mine has the 4 cylinder version of yours and it made him shudder when I told him of your fun, but I think he wants to come to the next one I can get to, but not to let his wagon in the mire

I reassured him I would show him around in his, but if you are there I'm sure you could oblige him

Kev

Popeye · « **Reply #43 on:** February 02, 2004, 21:23:28 »

No problem ,if I can assist anyone I will try my best to help

Pic of my knackered rear diff

you can see the shaft that holds on the small cogs (planet gears?) is sheared

The gears also appear well worn

All fixed now.

HI All,
Thought I'd share yesterdays damage from Aston Cantlow
I put it down to suddenly gaining grip and too much loud pedal! :oops:

Ed

You dont do things by half do you!

That diff is a ten spline one any good, could drop round with it tomorrow if you want to compare it

Kev

Wanderer · « **Reply #48 on:** March 07, 2004, 19:02:51 »

HI Kev,
Mine is a 24 spline. Well the left over halfshafts are. Will see what else comes up thanks.

David,
I didn't mean to do it honest. :)

How much was the diff from Ashcrofts? I bet it's painful.

I wonder where the pins might have ended up but for the diff guard.
I thought diff guards were to stop us puncturing the diff cover.

I'm glad you had the guard fitted when it went bang...

I could of been looking for a new front screen.. :shock:

If there is anything I can do to help out while
your trucks off the road give me a call..

davidlandy · « **Reply #50 on:** March 07, 2004, 20:04:16 »

Ed,

cost from Ashcrofts was Ã‚Â£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 Ã‚Â£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

Wanderer · « **Reply #53 on:** March 07, 2004, 20:54:57 »

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.

That mud looks as though it's been smeared on by hand, and the rest splated on using a bendy ruler :lol: :lol: :lol:

Or is it prepartion for fitting a snorkel :lol:

Hey Shiny, is that a man speaking from experience, just to convince his mates he has been off-roading with the ol' Waxmobile:) It only looks false to a TRUE expert :)

Andy. · « **Reply #59 on:** April 14, 2004, 00:02:03 »

Robbie, very good :lol: :lol: :lol:

But why would I spend hours upon hours polishing it only to personnally chuck mud on it, when I can go off road and have fun at the same time

Hours upon hours polishing it, now that's gonna scare some folk on here :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nice shot though Daz, is the Disco in for the same treatment :?:
