Yep, as I expected mate.
Depending on the extent of damage, I have heard also that the BTRs tend to 'WELD' when ran dry on fluid etc.
At the end of the day, would it be more cost effective to have this box rebuilt [naturally IF in okay condition, I'd prefer to keep the original] or just do a full box replacement?? [one with warranty etc] I know it's hard to judge, as I am yet to have a specialist look at it, but in all honesty, YOU GUYS [forum members]are good and I appreciate the help
