It's been an interesting couple of weeks. Once again the Austin had a proble, this time only 1 mile from home. Doing a 3 point turn it lost all drove on checking the prop shaft was turning recovered home and found the nearside half shift was broken, looking at it it has been fractured for some time. Luckily I had a spare given to me back in 2005. So removed and rebuilt the axle as you have to take it completely apart to replace the halfshaft. Now almost done just need to finish it tomorrow 🤞.
