911

My rear dirive shaft in my competition Sti snapped last weekend and I ended up on a trailer.
A call to API on the monday was met with a warm 'Don't worry, be happy' response. 'Bring the diff and driveshafts down and we'll sort it by friday.'
Pulled the diff out in a record for me 65 minutes, and down to Leamington Spa.
A detailed discussion and a partial stripping of the diff by API's Rob (transmission ace) found shards of heat treated steel half shaft in the diff:


There should be another 10mm of splined shaft on the end!

Went to pick it up today as David said it was all done and dusted.

It was too. 2 nice prepared driveshafts and the dry diff looking like new:


All bolted into the car now, just days after delivery.

The reason for the snapping was me not fully locating the shaft that failed fully in the diff in the first place, and then racing the car on slicks..numpty.
