Default Help needed lads.. Need a front diff. Anyone? ** SORTED **

Car is nearly fixed but the diff has just fucked up when the new box was put in...

Really really need one this bank holiday weekend if possible... As i want the car for Croft next weekend!

I'm in Suffolk and need to come and collect. Don't wanna travel too far though....

Has anyone in my area got one for sale...

Cheers. I'm off out for a b'day party but will be in later to check replies.

fuck me,,,,, what was you expecting your neighbour to reply with " yes mate ive got one,,,

aint my fault you live out in in bred land,,,, maybe if you never wasted all your cash on a sierra you might be able to afford to live closer

i class scotland/newcastle as far

but then again i drive to oxford for sunday dinner and drove to liverpool to pick up a box of skunk when the drought was on

im just not lazy,,,, these days we have cars,,,, i could understand if your lot still use stage coaches to get about

mark what about that bloke with the 3 door cossie at the essex meets who breaks em,,,,, not talking about jano either but hes another idea

or are they too far


infact have you tried asking the missus,,,,, or is she also too far as shes in the kitchen ?

Si B has got a minty mint one, but is in Somerset! Southampton is about 80 miles or more away from me, and then Suffolk is another shit loads on from that!

Try a local, and if you're stuck I could get it sent on a Next Day delivery to get you out of the shit...
