Only 3 more sleeps to Ace's BBQ version2.0
And the bloody Rangies done it again or the **** ' en dodgie mechanics at ENGLISH AUTO's AT TUGGERAH have.

I had the Rangie serviced there shortly after purchasing it only to find out it needed a new front diff as they had found a tooth when draining the oil. Good bye $2800 hello secondhand reconditioned diff, The price of new one made me choke.

That was is September 2004, Here we are in 2005 and the Rangie has been making a few whinning noises something it never did before the diff replacement( makes me wonder if there was any problem at all) So off to the doctor she goes again. They said (new mechanic this one's great had other work done before) she only needed New seals in the front diff, so I dropped it of monday. Rang today to pick it up and the whole diff needed rebuilding and its not ready :evil: . Apparently the diff was being held together by wire and they had backed of the bolts to get it to fit. VERY ****ED OFF !!!! Price so far to fix **** UP $2500+

Will I make it to The BBQ after all this **** ' en stress I hope so.

One day I hope to be able to drive my Rangie more then the bloody mechanic does. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Thats pretty nasty Jason, So did the original diff need replacing in the first place? Matt

I've got two winches at home - one off my old Rangie and one that my son won from Aust 4WD Monthly. Hmm, I wonder if he'd notice if I sold his?

Ok, we have an AULRO emergency. Jasons diff is fixed and now its leaking oil so he wont be able to make it. Whats the problem you say, there will be others. Its his birthday and stacey had organised a cake and everything. I was talking to noddy, we are going to try and get someone to pick him up, if Jason agrees to it. He lives at Gorokan on the central coast. Anyone got any suggestions. LRH lives at Breworowa, which isnt far away so Jason could get the train to there and LRH could pick him up. Has anyone got any other suggestions. Matt
