Hi All
Both P38's in trouble now. DSE has hard fault on EAS and is going in for a new air spring next week and HSE has front diff problems. What I would like to know is can I turn the HSE into 2 wheel drive to stop me having to hire a car until DSE is back from garage.

Regards Craig

Did you find out why the car had had the prop shaft removed? I have blown diff so would like to run on 2 wheel drive until one is fixed

the axle will still turn so could this cause a serious issue, i.e one wheel locks up at a critical moment, especially as the diff is screwed anyway!

My RR was a cat d repaired when i bought it and the wise minds on here suggested a prop would be removed for a suspended tow......but on fitting a prop i now know the diff is whineing like a woman.........could be why i have a replacement diff in the back of my van

Are you replacing the diff yourself??? It doesn't look too difficult but i'll let you know when i've done mine.

'Oi Gav...i mean forum pikey.....you busy 1 weekend soon????tea and custard creams on offer.....

Did the rear on the DSE last year only thing that was a problem was the weight of it on your back in the rain
