7th December.The Knackered Front Prop Shaft.

Just a nonsense, rolling about in the rain, water dripping down the neck, everything siezed or rusted solid and now I'm so blind I can't read the sizes on the spanners. This is what always happens, you find something wrong, something satisfying, something that fits all the symptoms of 'the Noise' or whatever the problem happens to be, "Ah that's it! definitely found it, I'm absolutely certain of that" You remove or replace the offending article. In this case, well I won't bore you with the details, but what was a 4WD vehicle is now a 2WD. So everything's sorted out and makes perfect sense until you jump in and drive away and discover that the time and energy spent has made precisely no difference whatsoever.

The moral is that just about everything that hasn't actually been demonstrated or tested is wishful thinking.
