Well today was interesting.
Got under the Disco and took the props off, well the front one and disconnected the rear at the brake drum.
Then got it running in D in both Hi and Lo.
Screwdriver stethoscoped the box and tranny box.
Sho nuff, rumble from the rear of the Tranny box. a regular sound like the one I have been hearing on the road.
Another LZ er has been helping me with this via Pm and he too has this noise on his. and after what he told me I think it ought to make it back to blighty if I am careful.
The Hooke joint has atiny bit of play in it too, so that will get done when the box comes off for the leak to be cured and presumably we'll have to see what to do about the tranny box.
Landies, don't you just love em?
Just as I was about to put the last 4 bolts in I espied two pairs of feet just on the other side of the Disco when I was underneath.
Two neighbours who came to see us, for the first time since we got here. so nice excuse to stop for aperos!!
(Poor beggars, three members of family or close friends have died in the past 2 weeks. None from Covid. two from heart and one form a weird nervous disease that left her so crooked they couldn't uncross her legs to get her into the coffin. They also said she weighed 30 kilos which i find a bit hard to believe but then.......)
Some others do have it worse than us.....
Hand up those who REALLY want
@kevstar to film his convo with his "mate" when he tells him how much he knows and demands his money!!!!!!!
Like the scene from Reservoir Dogs where the cop is tied to the chair, etc etc.....
