Hmmmm.......

Well.........lol.........

I took it for a drive to Lilydale and back tonight, drove incredibly well, UNTIL................
WTF..... Steering heavy as all F^@#....
Shredded the brand new Power steering belt, and in the process, tore the outer rib from my 4pk alternator belt......

And to top it off......
There is a little Water in the Oil, not on dipstick, but white under filler cap :-( May be the breather set up they have fitted ........AND.......
New diff is getting noisier by the minute, and had a look once I arrived home and it is Hemorrhaging oil everywhere.....

NOT HAPPY JAN........

G&J Gears & Differentials better be happy to fix this.........or things may just get ugly...lol... I've had just about enough:ranting::censored::ranting:

Car went back to G&J diff today,

They found a bearing that was no good, replaced it and re set the diff pattern......
New oil etc etc.....
Drove it home, and the sound is worse...lol....lol...lol......(GOD DAMN IT)

They said my L/H Drive shaft is ready to let go.....
I will replace rear wheel bearings on the weekend, and check out the shaft....
Oh, another belt shredded on the way home tonight, and now my Alternator has died (was Recoed 3 mnths ago)....

Is this ever going to end????????????????????????

Hmmmmmm,

Left Drive shaft went bang last night........
It still drives, but very noisy, I will limp it to work and see who I can get to replace it today, I know G&J will but I will give RVO a call first :)

I will do a big clean up this weekend, and hopefully get a few pix to share :)

Thanks so much for putting me onto these guys,
All i can say is awesome!!
Great Guys, Great Service, Great Price, Sensational!!

They fitted me some new Driveshafts today, test drove the car, Did an assesment on my driveline, recomended all my next steps towards my dream car.......... All for $30 Labour???? WTF...lol....

I am taking the Senator back next week, they are removing the diff, and giving back to G&J Gears with their recomendations on how to fix it properly...lol.....

Anyone thinking of anything Automotive would be a fool not to at least give Dave a call at RVO..... 9794 5004.
