Steve and JB, my humble thanks for your accolades, but that's why we are
all here. I probably have a few more contacts and ruses just cos I have no
dealership in this country and have to work things out for myself a bit
more. I also learn a lot at my wonderful Toy scrapyard ;o))
I am pleased Darren in Oz was a help for your 40 bits Steve. He is very
active in the Toy club scene in Oz and quite reliable. He has been
determined to send me a rebuild kit for my transmission. We just need a
mate like yours to bring it FOC on a plane ! So stick with us we all try
and help M8.
JB. I still worry about your axle and your costs. Despite your innocent
Celtic charm and wit you are a serious and sensible Toy owner with great
care for your 80. When I think about it, if you are determined to get the
axle right and are ready to learn, why not make it the start of your
'experience'?
Apart from your bad back and lack of work, you want to learn about the 80
as much as save money from the rip-off Toy garage. OK so you may not have
found the 'right' man to help you, but really, if you have a good manual -
even Haynes will do - and a mate with good mechanical knowledge and a range
of the right tools, then why not have a go - you do have the time for it
after all. Even a good local tractor mechanic will be a great help if you
can find one down the pub. (But get him to help preferably before he goes
down there!)
Cheers
