Yep that deffo was gearbox failure...lol

However i'm not sure how on earth you managed to twist a sodding driveshaft

A few more pics from today..

Sodding propshaft...

Very productive morning all in all.

he who dares rodders!!!!!

one word to cover all those pics - Ouch!

Scuse my ignorance, but is this Bengie's Octy?

It most certainly is.

Didn't he do well breaking that then eh.

Bengie never does anything by half, just add it to the list of scrap metal casualties.

proper job

:rolleyes:That'll be fine with a bit of chemical metal and thicker gearbox oil!

Blimey Ben - thats completely wrecked!!!

Twised driveshaft, blimey!! Must have been one hell of a launch! :P

as i said at the time it was awesomely fast for the first few inches until it went bang

if it breaks then obviously your putting the effort in you just need stronger bits

- it also had a mildly disturbing effect on my clutch :P

Just hope it lasts until yours is sorted Was a long day Friday but I reckon well worth it, glad to see yours is going well, the Escort is at the office now, Fabia vRS at neighbours' drive and he's bought the 3 wheels that can be refurbed

Thanks for your part in all this WW, you are a star indeed.

Nice work mate.

How long do you plan to keep it before breaking it again bengie

that was a doozy of a hill start though...:eek: but it was certainly worth the time/effort to get his car moved and your two swapped about - despite getting to ours around 11pm, there was no chance you were going to be doing the trip to your office and back by yourself.

Nice work mate.

i don't choose when i break things i simply let nature take its course

anyway its not my fault skoda didn't build the car to my demanding needs

:rofl::rofl:you need to learn about mechanical sympathy mate:thumbup:

Oh and good to see it getting fixed:D

do what now?

is that driving like a girl?

Fixed in the loosest sense of the phrase.

Butchered is a better way of putting it

i'm cool with that

Ben told you those F1`s are sticky...lol, but a bent driveshaft :eek:

made me proud seeing that picture

Maybe some ditchfinder would help the car last longer then

its a 4x4 so i'd just drive out and carry on anyway

F Me!

You did a proper good job on that box and that driveshaft too!

Uprated box anyone :P
