Well I'm in, it's too dark to even try and look at it now and I got it dropped at the yard as they have a pit and all the tools I need - plus a van to run about in :D

I'm hoping it's just a driveshaft, but there is BOUND to be some gearbox damage from the noise it was making :cry:

Like I need an excuse for a new one ;)

ATB it is then :)

Unless someone wants to pay for it....until I get a job I can't fork out a grand on the car, despite it sitting in the bank account :( Although I'm very close to getting one (it currently seems)

We'll see....just hope the Zed isn't off the road for long :cry:

Cheers matey. I really don't think the gearbox is knackered to be perfectly honest because when it came off the flatbed I moved it about the driveway...it selects all gears fine, even drives (if going slowly enough) so I'm really hoping it's just a driveshaft :)

800 Vitty turbo.Not 100%,but early ones could of had a type A(don't quote me lol)
Bonus of the 4.2 is that acceleration is better than the 3.9 OE final drive.(I want this myself but found out too late after my ATB went in)
Just throwing a few balls in the air for ya :)
