Well my wife and I headed out for a pleasant weekend @ the Roadster Factory
Outing - Not.
We managed to get 200 miles into the States 100 miles driving and 100 miles on
a flatbed back home. Thank goodness for CAA and AAA.
The car was running great until I heard a small clang and then another one and
as I pulled off the side of the road the rear wheels locked up.
Long story short once I got the car back home and up on stands it appears the
rear end had let loose some how, not sure what that's today's project to get
it out and have a look, only outward sign is fluid all over the front end of
the unit, yesterday was to get into the bottle of scotch I had taken for the
trip.
Question is  - is it better to anticipate repairing or replacing the
differential - depending on what is wrong of course.
Is this type of problem common with these rear ends.
If I look for a replacement what should I check out as far as obvious things
gobuying a used unit.
Thanks for the input group, sorry to miss the event - better to have happened
where it did instead of further down the mountains though.

Thanks
Crabby
