Well ive been to Surrey 4x4 and had Chris and his Mechanic Butch put it on the ramp and heres a short list of what they found.

All wheel bearings need changing (knew that)
Front and rear drive shafts need refurbing (knew that)
Steering box and Track ends need replacing (knew that)
Rear shocks are dented (knew that)
Rear Diff housing is fouling on the Tank Guard (thats whats making loads of noise)
Limited slip diff (rear) not limiting lol
Engine earth strap burnt on exhaust
Oil Pressure Gauge not giving a true reading compared with the diag tool

So all in all a tearful experience lo :010:l, but at least its in good hands!

Oh and he laughted at the quality of electrical installation. Good job i can do that work myself
