BOOMER

BOOMER

Bloke from Dorset
Well I defo got to do summat about my exhaust and quick cos todays laning trip just about finished it off, as well as my rear diff:doh:

I think piccies will appear in this fred soon as DV excelled himself in getting stuck again as did Muddydisco4 and Drewster in trying to pull him out.

I blew my already shagged rear diff up trying to pull MD4 out.

Me and DV went back to his place and fitted a replacement diff in just over the hour whilst Ratty made his way down with winches and extra strops as DV was stuck, VERY stuck in a dead end lane.

You might say that this was a recce gone wrong, oops......:D

Big thanks to Ratty for coming out and helping to sort the situation, I.m sure DV will buy a big bottle of T-cut for ya:rolleyes:
 
I'll get some piccies up when I get home from work tonight.:rolleyes:;):p
 
I'm not surprised you change the diff in an hour......DV has had lots of practice hehehehe

I gotta be honest I've never seen hedges clean a landy as well as they did. My landy went down the lane brown and came back out white.:eek:

I was working yesterday so never actually went on the recce. I went down after work to help get em out. If Boomer's diff had held out they coulda got muddy disco out.

At least I know now what was causing all that driveline shunt! :p
Thankyou to DV for letting me have his spare diff :)
I'm not even going to say what my paint looks like now, or mention that new dent :mad:

Here's the 3 paltry pics I managed before my camerafone decided it was not gonna take any more :doh:

Cant think why I had a spare diff lyin around :rolleyes:, but still not a bad effort to change diff and rear prop in an hour.

As for the weather was really nice, just that next time I read on the tinterweb that a ford is imapassable I might just believe it :doh::doh:.


A mahoosive thanks to Ratty for coming out to save the day, thank god you weren't working. I think you are owed loads of beer or is that chippies for your efforts.


Er indoors took some pics on her camera phone, so will have a look and get em uploaded.
