Hi,
My freebie has been sounding like a milk float four the past 3 day, so i took it into the local garage.
Problem was obvious, out bolt missing from IRD pinion houing, other finger tight. Oil no where to be seen, apart from the wet patch on the underside of the car.
It seems that the nice mister at the evil garage has stripped the threads on all except one bolt that holds the pinion in, so no there us noting to hold the bolts into the IRD housing. Joy.
Plan A : Cut new threads in to the IRD houing. If that fails....
Plan B : New IRD is 880+vat from ashcroft, but my IRD was rebuilt only 6 months ago. Can I get a used IRD and transfer the internals of mine to a casing with threads? Is this difficult to do?
Plan C : IRD blanking plate from fleabay, and bye bye IRD
Cheers all
