Exactly, and thats what insurance is for. And its gonna cost him way more than just the value of the vehicles by the time money grabbers add their markups and other misc costs.Quote:

We learn from mistakes and we all make regrettable decisions. However, most probably don't cost in excess of 15 thousand.
I'll have a look at the play in the joints, have quite a few tailshafts/propshafts spare.

Amongst all the rest of it... might be worth looking at the rear donut (the thing D1s have instead of a rear uni joint) as that can cause shuddering - especially since you say it was there a little bit before the prang. Impact may have stressed things and made it worse after that. If not fixed, they can get so bad they chew out the rear diff yoke, making a little problem bigger...
Good luck
Paul.
You'd probably be there after 4 years though :o.Quote:

As for the shudder start with the simple things and head up from there. Maybe wheel balance as it vanishes at 120kph - I assume it was your father who discovered that :D:D.
