Mr Stebson arrives

Often when you spend money, it’s painful. However, using plastic and buying things over the phone makes it all seem easy, just give them a number and away you go. Which is largely how it went on Thursday when I ordered the diff. And what’s arrived?
I’ve heard a lot of differing opinions about grippers, but most of the people whose opinions I trust have said they’re OK – indeed the guys who bought the Hyundai have had one in their car for many seasons without any issues (or even needing servicing), and in addition plates are only £3 each! This is slightly offset by the diff relieving me of £750, but there you go, I guess that’s the price you have to pay for traction. So, all that’s needed now is some fresh diff bearings (which have been ordered), and then it’s time for another gearbox rebuild. My least favourite activity!
