My mate came and grabbed a front shaft from me the other day to do exactly that, will have to find out how he went

He'll also need the output flange.

All depends on what happens repair wise, how long it takes etc. Will know more by Tuesday (I hope)

Yeah, as I mentioned to Matt, we might need a little more than a normal service. Guys were very helpful. Disco should be in Melbourne by now, will check it out and get it towed over to you guys on Monday.

You're kidding! If repairs mount up I was considering getting a new Defender instead.

Bit over 5 years and 48,000km. Age and mileage aren't necessarily the killers though, depends on what the vehicle's been driven through or had strike underneath.

Transmission has a very long piece of casing missing, you can see the clutch plates. Resembles one of those cutaway models you see.

Derek;

good to hear that your ok, could have been a lot worse.

hope all repaired promptly and that you get your tow vehicle sorted to pick up your van. your going to need that holiday

Bloody hell Derek, that looks like it could have been much worse at 125kph

hope it all works out well for you and your family.

Derek,

Sorry to hear about your drama's - hope it gets sorted quickly and most of all inexpensively! Would be great id covered by insurance. BTW, do you have a suspension lift?

Ouch. I have had a rear go like that. Happened half way up a steep climb but not a front or at speed.

I didn't releise there was a thread till now Good to see you are alright

If you win on that lotto ticket when/if you stop at our place we can celebtrate in style :angel: how lucky you were.

Thanks for the PM

Mrs ho har:D

Hi Derek

Lucky it did not happen on the Bulman track, it could have then been an expensive "experience" to get it transported somewhere.
