Default My Rear Diff shocking to say the least :(

Hi peeps

some of you might know I have been waiting 5/6 weeks now for my rear platted diff to repaird

anyway i'm cutting a long story short i basically had the diff rebuilt about 4 months ago and it wasn't right form day one ....

I told them that this diff isn't right that it's noisy and when cornering the diff makes a serious noisy which i know that it down to the plates as there is too much preload on the plates and it was also virating a little more that before

while i was down at Martins Reyland place i asked him if i could use his torque wrench so i jaked the one side off the car and took the wheel off then put the torque wrech on the hub nut to see how much pressure was on the plates

and I found out that the plates broke off/free about 110 ft lbs of torque which is seriously no good for road use that it pure 100% track settings

anyway a few weeks the diff lets go on the M6 after showing sticky Paul and his freinds the way home to liverpool ( after Auto sports show nec) been waiting ever since

I finally collected the diff today and i tyred to fit it as i was lifting the diff up to rest it on the rear anti roll bar there was oil driping on my shrit , so i then quickly took it down and placed it on the floor and checked the diff over

there was no fooking front diff seal or cover and not only that the front bolt was lose


heres a few pics this is what i mean





The front bolt was lose so i took it off and there you have it no fooking diff seal or seal cover





now this is what you pay people to do and thats how you get it back

I wanted the car back on the road for this sunday as Mallory Park is on the first venue of the yr for the Ford Salloon championships


this is why i get so worked up because wankers can't do the job right first time

it's not the cars it's the wankers that do shite work that fucks the cars up

it's going back to him tomorrow though his fooking front window

i'm totally piss off i would have had the diff in tonight aswell i'll probally have to wait another 6 weeks

i can see why alot of people do D.I.Y because a lot of wankers don't do it right ,
