Default Big Wig's guide to fault finding!

if you hear a loud banging noise from the back of your car why bother looking for the fault?just beat the fuck out of it until it explodes in town,then pick the fault up from the floor!problem found satis! didnt need a torch or anything,i know EXACTLY which bit just broke! do you reckon itll fit back on?


the left hand drive shaft is no longer attached to the diff!oopsie daisie!new parts being ordered now!who said beemers were bullet proof?
i take it this is likely to be a cv joint failure?the car was towable,didnt make any awful noises being towed etc so not likely to be diff damage?
