seriously nothing is ever right with mine, you fix one thing and something else breaks or is wrong
for example i sort my brakes out so theyre not catching and then on the way home my cv joint disintegrates, so i think ok i can get a new shaft and replace the whole thing, come to replace it today, put it all together and it wont turn forwards only backwards
strange eh, anyway take it back apart and put it back together and it seems to be ok, go to drive it to test it, it moves, i get onto the corner of my street and it clunks so i think crap somethings not right, carry on a little bit and turn round and its still doing it clunking and then making a clunk when you stop accelerating and then like weird clicking so we take it apart, and my mate i work with says its not right so we take the gearbox sump off and take a look at the diff, and theres teeth and allsorts broken, bent, loose
we look in the oil and theres metal debris and a piece of driveshaft clip
turns out its more than likely come off the other shaft when it came out and worked its way into the diff, locked the passenger wheel tearing the cv apart and destroying the diff
not good at all 
so now i stink of gearoil and im looking at either a new diff or complete gearbox, not to mention tax runs out today and mot is due too.
sorry for the rant just fed up of things going wrong, does anyone ever have this much trouble?

I think purchasing a second hand gearbox would be less agro then getting another diff.

yeah, diffs looked complicated, but luckily a lad here at work has nova that he has a spare box for for, so hopefully i can have that  although if i can find a cheap cr f10 it should make things a bit intresting
