Pinion bearings let go big style on the rear diff. Had been whining badly on overrun for longer than healthy really. Have a good diff from Garry here already. Top bloke even came out to recover me. I keep an alternator and starter as spares anyway and the cv is done already. Shouldn't take too long
She's clean as a whistle underneath now but seats are bit damp. No carpets fitted anyway as its a mudder. A good day Will see it brand new!!!!
Gotta have fun !!!!!Well, with the sun shining it looked like a grand day to be stuck in the middle of a lake!
The fun is starting to wear off a bit now. 25 litres of atf and 6 or 7 flushes and the gearbox still aint right. Fluid still coming out milky. Add to that cv joint starter alternator engine oil and filter rear diff diff oils brake pads and now a water pump. We WILL be ready for lincomb though!!!!!! I hope.
Been there done that. Had a 18 ft Fisher pilot used for bass fishing off the Norfolk coast. Cost me more beer tokens than this massively abused 80 has!!! YET. The bearings were worn really badly in the diff Ben from water and sand getting past the pinion seal which i foolishly left to long. By the time id replaced it diff was mullered. I ran it regardless for 3 months whining its tits off. Pan had about a pound of sand in there.My own doing but do like to get my penny's worth.
And now we can add a gearbox to the list of destroyed items.. they were some expensive easter eggs my boy !!!
Front diffs a bit sloppy now the props are off!!!! Well its half out already soo!!! Yep! Should be like brand new now.
