Ouch, JB Weld?

Did this happen when you gave it some or just general?

Cheers

I was thinking a spot of Araldite should do it.

I believe it happened whilst I was testing how fast the rev counter can reach 7000 rpm from a standing start.

Just a Sunday drive then..

On the bright side, at least you didnt spend hours reconditioning and painting your diff! (Thats going to be my excuse for not doing it. )

Yep, my laziness did pay off for once
I figured no one's ever going to see the diff so there wasn't much point. Saying that, the RAC man did have a good look!

I think we all have this to look forward too, guess the mx5 diff just ain't made to be not solidly mounted! Might keep hold of that 1.8 diff as a spare for when mine goes.

Opps, that must be really frustrating when its pretty much your first ride. Still whatever happens, it can't be as bad as it was going through the IVA. Sure you will have it fixed in no time.
