Could be, but check the half shafts before you get too despondent.
What have you done on your 90/110/130 today?

I've got a stinking cold, and it is parked up on mud as I couldn't get it into the garage, so ideal conditions to do anything. Couldn't get any drive with transfer box lever in any position...

Looks like it. Transfer box eventually engaged difflock, and I got some drive back, and managed to park it off the mud so I can figure out which shaft it is tomorrow.
I also ordered some replacement lights for the rear ones that lost when I fought the wall.
Nothing.
But did spend £150 on oils and filter for it.
Getting it in the garage tomorrow then into town to get plugs, probably wont have them but next day probably.
So I will be able to see how much has leaked out
since last done.
That will be its New Year treat hope it keeps it happy.

Swept the snow off, jacked it up to figure out which half shaft had gone, and narrowed it down to the rear.
Felt very silly when I realised the rear righ half shaft had simply crept outwards, so disengaged from the diff..

Cheap fix, don't knock it ...
So over the pit yesterday and gave the fuel tank/tow brackets a good squirting.
Drain Diffs & TB today gotta love the smell of EP90 It looked like the rightish amount came out not too bad condition
. Spark Plugs out, the hole to get at them is deeeeep they actually look fine, but will treat her anyway. so they have been ordered for tomorrow.
Now. Where/who has my T55, so the gearbox didn't get drained, I guess its cuddling up with a few 10mm sockets somewhere.
I did look at a set while ordering plugs in the shop which had a T55 in, maybe that will mean I will find it tomorrow or will it be after I have brought the other set
. Still, more shiny tools is never a bad idea.
So tomorrow will be fuel tank dropping duties, I hope. I have a feeling the grinder spanner is coming out, I need it dropped to check the in tank pump to Identify it, doesn't need to be replaced straight away as we run LPG most of the time. So it will give time to sort it.

So oils just arrived COD, plugs collected this afternoon.
Went out this am and worked the towbar/tank guard bolts, they all move, but not very far so worked back and forward. Gave them another dose of soaking tonight to give them a second chance. Don't really want to cut them.
Does anybody actually know what pump is fitted to the plastic tank for a 2.0mpi? I am thinking it will be the same as a disco MPI/EFI, from what docs I have it needs the same pressure, but finding the number is difficult.

Walked past it tonight & hope everthing works tommorow for the MOT.
Grease gun & cartridge put in middle so can do the props & TRE when on the ramp.
Now waiting for a message of what to collect from McDonald’s in the morning for the testers.(slows them down so I can have a good inspect & grease things)

Sat in motor doing the switches for the mot man.all good & working
New apprentice has a good luck at the chassis & bulkhead. Also inspects the underneath as he only sees plastic & new cars. Learning curve for him.
Main mot man rechecks and all good
Once up in the air & everything inspected & good I go under & grease props,steering joints & all good. Confused the apprentice with the grease gun as they not used now.
And the magic passed ticket was handed over after I paid the bill.

Often park at the top of that hill for a tea break on a laning trip, great view.
