Hello all, Is anyone able to tell me what damage i'm likely looking at? just got my 109 back after the garage put it on parabolics (lazy me, but it got done fast). It's a much much nicer drive - no banging into potholes. Now it looks like it's caused damage to rear diff from prop pulling at it -...

Hi, i've just posted somewhere then checked my own posts and realised i've not introduced myslelf. I have a 109 that is used as a second car plus does quite a lot of towing in mud, so an all round toy n tool really. It's now got good mud tyres on it - makes all the difference when i have a 3ton...

how did you get on? I just bust my landy, brand new lovely parabolics on a 1961 109, good ride, all felt right; slight burble of noise when axle went over a bump. Then a slight clunk at low speed and low torque, now no drive to rear axle and it looks like the nuts holding diff to axle are...
