Good Ebay result !
Last Sunday I bid on , and won , a 4.11 diff for my Escort axle to help with the silly gearing
I sent a check on Monday , thinking by the time it clears and the diff gets sent it will be some time next week
It arrived today
So now I`m off out to the garage to fit it , and replace the rear wheel bearings - armed with ......
Some new discs for the angle grinder
A blowlamp
A tube of instant gasket
A bottle of suitable oil
And a large pile of spanners , sockets , a big hammer and a fully charged compressor
Just hope I`ve thought of everything
Its cuz I is blond , innit

A pile of excuses for getting home late when grilled by the significant other??
I unfortunately said "bad traffic" the other day as a reflex response after a trip to / from the garage. My garage is 200m away from my
home and I walk so not surprisingly it didn't work
