badger Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 during the show at battlesbridge it was spotted that bruce had a small oil leak on investigation we belived it to be a driveshaft seal so today i had a good look and the results are not good it looks like the diff bearings are cream crackered and so i need a replacement box or this one reconditioned. now the problem with this is i am ment to be driving to middlesborough for the bank holiday meet so its a good job i'm on holiday next week as i'm going to be busy again... just in case you don't know this is bruce below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badger Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 bruce is alive many thanks to avul (mark) who had a spare box i spent the afternoon dropping the old one and putting the new one in i have learnt a thing or 2 this afternoon the origanal box that i brought some 4-5 years ago was advertised as an rs turbo lsd box but because the drive shaft ends were in to keep the oil in i never checked it and just brought it home and bolted it on and then just cliped the drive shafts into the ends. well it turns out is was a standard box (no lsd) but the bearings are totally shot to pieces. so i'm now on the look out for a rs turbo box with lsd (and i'll be checking ) and i do have to say i've given that gearbox a real pounding so it ain't done bad.
