Turns out it was the cv joint . Pulled out the house and up the hill out of my road and SNAP , lost all drive . Guy walking his dog sh*t himself when it happened and I did too .
Dipped the clutch so the driveshaft wasn't spinning and rolled down the hill. Called the step father to tow me back to my house .
Lucky I ordered 2 cv joints and all the boots around 2 months ago , changed them out . All good ! Started the engine and noticed the dreaded rattle from the inlet manifold , I knew the car was down on power but I thought it was the fact I've got use to it. I had a spare inlet manifold in the shed from when i picked the car up.
Just been out for a spin and WOW the power , like a new
I noticed the gears had been harder to engage recently.Well it appears to be leaking from the bell housing ? Any thoughts .
Topped up with around half a bottle of MTF-94 I had and it changed gears like a champ.
Just goes to show my laziness recently. Oil change tomorrow and she will be grand
