Wozzatthen ???

That resolution went straight out of the window on NYE... Finally called time at 1 am ;D

Worst month on the calendar and some masochists try and tackle it without alcohol. ::)
I've been dry since before Xmas.  That must be a new record.

This is my dislocated nearside driveshaft, which hopefully is the culprit!  :)

As you can see it's pulled out of the diff about 50mm and I can't shift it so the local garage are picking it up in the morning. Fingers crossed they can sort it for a reasonable price.  :-\

Most likely a driveshaft joint stripped its splines,Beemer diffs are quite tough stuff normally  :y
I think you'd hear/feel that happening, Henry. Tigger said he lost power and didn't mention any nasty noises. It's more likely it's just popped out, I think.
But.....until the lazy bastard has a look and let's us know, it's only guesswork.
Yay!
