It'll be mine that's available mate, so quite possibly the best jc5 box that will become available as literally EVERYTHING internally is brand new. The diff will more than likely be new too.
@shu90 the oil jets can be removed by welding a piece of threaded bar on the top of them and using a slide hammer. Simple. Just note the position of them on/in the block before you remove them.
For refitting you can't knock them in too far otherwise the skirt of the piston will hit them and...
Yeah I fully agree mate, mechanical failures do happen. What I can't get my head around and accept is this: why the f**k did it decide to pop the shaft out this time around? It's on stiffer suspension and I took the corner no differently to any other lap I've done. Just doesn't make sense to me...

Hello Dave! Yeah bit of a shitter all round really, but onwards and upwards I suppose. I was supremely confident of a fast laptime too, but it just wasn't meant to be.
If it was to go s**t or bust in the uk I can use my AA recovery to get me home anyway! Lol!
Glad to hear the box and hubs are...
The in car footage is far from spectacular tbh mate. I was still getting dialled in with the car, so far from perfect. I think there's one video with a big under steer moment at Breidscheid too. 🙈
