Anyone around Jason's area who can drop by and take a 24lb sledgie to his nuts when he's looking after the little princess?

Sounds to me like the guy could do with a visit from the D3 brotherhood to aid him in his hour of need; I'm sure that a bugled lock nut is a much bigger deal to Jason at present than we would think if it happened to us.

I wish I was nearer and with fewer flu symptoms or I'd be along with my Dremel and a cold chisel myself.

Anyone able to be a superhero for an hour?

FWIW

There are some things we wont post in a public domain

PM's have been sent offering help and advice but as we cant say you have a PM its not quite so evident

There are plenty of peps out there having a very bad time not just in the this world


If PM's have been sent then I apologise, from what was visible in the forum it looked at though Jason was being teased and I felt it was poor form.

Andrew - I do agree that lots of advice has been given and I was not saying that it hadn't.

With the nut beaten on to the locker, is it still just rotating freely, or is it not turning at all?
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

I didnt take it cos the lock nut suck on, and I thought the resolutions of the turning wheel would release it, but another MASSA incident would happen, or damage the D3 paint. Therefore took the hire car

BB...you really know how to open up the forum on a Saturday night.... Rolling Eyes Laughing (just don't ask if the EGR's are now blanked...)
 The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

Club "yes, I too have had the EGR's replaced..."
Club "yes, I too have had the compressor replaced..."
Club "yes, I too once had the car at the dealer for a couple of weeks nearly 4 weeks over 4 weeks...5 weeks"
Club "yes, I too have had EPB failure..."
Club "yes, I too get mysterious bings and bongs..."
