I vote for the oil check in the rear diff. By the looks of it you have to
dissasemble
half the rear suspension just to check the oil. I recon I'll just take my
chances,
wait while it seizes, snaps, impales my passanger (fingers crossed) as it
goes through
the floor.
Sounds like less effort to wait for this disaster than to ensure that there
is oil in the rear-diff.
Although I can see the reasoning of the engineer.
"If there is no way for the oil to get out it will stay in there".
BTW: Can we desacrete the head engineers grave or something? Or if he is still
alive why dont we ruin his retirement :-)
Just jesting.
