It's booked in for it's next service in 2 weeks time anyway and most of next week it will sit in an airport car park, so I'll just monitor and see what surfaces.

Mark. If you are concerned about it sitting around at the airport and not getting a good run looking for the possible cause I have a suggestion.

I have a few spare days next week, don't live too far away, so you could leave it with me to add a few Ks.

I could even take it up into the high country and really give it a work over to see if any other faults show up.

Let me know if you are interested in my generous offer.:)

Always knew you were a wonderfully generous bloke Dave .... :D

I was first.:tease:

Hehe...

Looks like you two have competition..... the 18 year old daughter, whose car I stole for a couple of days, just volunteered to "look after it for me".. while I'm in Brisbane :angel:

Can't trust any of them mate, I'll do the decent thing and look after it. I'm trustworthy, just ask TerryO

No I didn't, but I was told there was no sign of any previous crack, that it was a clean break near the hub end of the shaft.

I'm just glad it turned out to be something relatively simple, without any damage to my wallet ;)

I will be sure to keep exploring and find anything more sinister BEFORE I'm out of warranty :angel:
