Hi All,

 

Today I got my car back on the road after about 6 six weeks - I replaced the diff unit myself. I am not a mechanic at all but can read and listen to help and advice so I was really pleased when I got swapped the diff, changed the oil and got the car sorted again. After about 12 hours of swearing, getting shit in my eyes and bleeding knuckles it was such a laugh to drive it again!! I enjoy these cars and think this is what it's all about.

 

so thanks all for your help again!!

Nice one, Its great having a go yourself, saved yourself a wedge dude, happy zedding

Glad you got it sorted and as said good that you had a go!! enjoy the driving :D

Nice one, you do get satisfaction doing it yourself, even though, during, you wish you taken it to a garage lol

Excellent news mate - another ZX lives on!!!

 

And congrats on acomplishing the repairs yourself - hats off to you mate!!

Its great the club spirit aswell - I was probably asking some obvious questions but everyone treated them with the same validity :)

Glad you got it on the road Tom changing the diff is easy isnt it :)

Not especially! Thank you for sorting me out with the diff :) Owe you a pint next time!

Nice one fella. I'm leaning towards this 'have a go' attitude. Fair play to you and glad you got it sorted.

Its good to get stuck in, and I bet Tom saved a pretty penny doing it himself!

 

I bought my car with a seized turbo, within 2 days of it getting home me and my mate pulled the engine out and changed it! neither of us are mechanics but picked up knowledge (and braveness) over the years! :yes:

What would a garage charge any ideas? Only way I can afford to run is by DIY!

well done mate:thumbup:
