Remember, don't see a sorebones, and that a bit of pain never hurt anyone....

Although I'm sure you'll be fine in a couple of weeks if you rest, next time mechanically inept people (ie me) come round, you should simply be the gaffer, and leave the crawling to those who own the car?  I'm sure in most cases, certainly mine, that its not an inability to do the job, more a confidence/guidance thing....?

I am ready to get stuck into the Springs on my Senator. Its just guidance + confidence I need, even though its a 300 quid card, still very nevous about doing some jobs.

Don't be so impatient AA : :D

I'm worried my diff will have no oil in it :(

You got an incontinent diff?

When I had my MOT at the Vx Dealer, he reported pinion seal.

It looked wetter on the offside of the diff to me.

Don't frighten me Mark :(

Mark, Matchless....would it help if I brought it over tonight, for you to have a look at?

You could then diagnose what was wrong and what parts are needed.
