Got back from t'Egypt at about 3:30 this morning and had Kermit down at the local MOT garage for 8:00. Pacing up and down like an expectant father now waiting for news !!!!!
On the run down to the garage I've (unfortunately) confirmed that the rear diff is shot - it's fine under load but as soon as you ease off the gas it whines and grates like a, errr, well windey gratey thing
Anyway, following a quick conversation with the proprietor of MKS Classics, got a decent secondhand one sorted via Tony at Four Plus Four although it's still in the donor vehicle but I should have it in a couple of days. I'll get the old one out in the meantime so re-fitting shouldn't take too long.
MOT willing, we're still looking good for Sunday. Fingers crossed !!
Cheers
Mark
