Thanks again @jamesmartin In your experience, is it possible that the bearing failure could have happened within a few hundred miles, without being picked up by the instructor who is presumably, to check that the propshaft had been fitted ceorretly, with all bolts in place, and no play in the...

The chassis is a simple job, the I was supposed to have witnessed the gearbox bewing opened, as I might have been able to see what went wrong internally, and the pinion due to not having driven more than a few hundred miles since the gearbox was replaced, it was evident to me that they they had...

I don't know. However, the instructor should have checked everything if the works were carried out by an apprentice, and the training organisation is responsible for any errors resulting from a lack of guidance and tuition. Just as a matter of interest, don't the propshafts get wiggled during...

They are now saying that the pinion detached due to a lack of maintenance and wear and tear on the pinion trrust bearings. I might be being a bit of a dipstick here, but wouldn't it be just a slightly bit obvious that any linear or radial free play on the pinion flange would be picked up when...

... And that's how the old, high pressure, diesel/multifuel blowlamps worked! ;);) Don't see many of them nowadays though :(:(

I'd be inclined to clean it all up and then take it back to where you got it from ... presumably it is still under warrenty?

Bear in mind that the pressure at the injectors can be anything between 1500psi and 10,000psi (I CBA to look it up) then ask yourself if it isn't woirth bothering about, or if it is worth fitting a new seal. It's up to you ...

Slate fur a nippo innit?

Scaffs tressles and stands ar just about all that's needed, any yours seem to havew been well used over many years. If using friends to lift, remember to have two on each end of the scaff pole, as the body is heavier than many people think! If you remove the gear stick, you won't have to lift it...

Put a straight edge between the outer lip of the alternator pulley and the crankshaft pulley. AS long as you are not able to feel any offset, they should be perfectly lined up.

Thanks for the offer @border It's the front axle, and the independent examiner will be looking at it today. The Motor Vehicle Apprentice Training Garage has spent the past week trying to prevent me from getting access, and they have made it clear that they don't want me around today! I wonder...
