...and after putting our vehicle in for a much delayed full service, we find that the rear differential is knackered and needs to be replaced. Cue much stress and nashing of teeth as Ali and his trusty helper Simon (Richard is still at work, the lazy arse) race around trying to find an old scrap SJ that we can pillage for parts.
Ali called to tell me all of this last night, as I was packing to leave. Thankfully we think we've found a vehicle that we can strip. It's just a matter of trying to get it all cheap enough so that we don't blow the budget before we go. And hoping that our garage (Fenny Bridges motors) will be able to fit it in time for us to catch the 7 o'clock ferry from Dover that we're booked onto.
