Hi Steve
Problems started with a leak and this then progressed to loss of drive major breakdown,took it to a certain garage in TAMESIDE that does TRANSMISSIONS and got quoted £550.00 they replaced the cover and installed a different diff wrong size but this meant I only had normal drive no 4wd as I needed the car for work I agreed to take the car and await the correct diff----- to no avail I`m still waiting!
