He was guessing and had never seen such an incident at the back of the car.

In case the insurance company say they are not paying, does anyone know how much i am going to pay out for a new rear axle or rear diff (sorry not mechanically minded - is it called a diff)?

Should i repair it or let it go say for spares?

Thanks to everyone who has replied and for good wishes.

Let us know what the progress is, if your car can be saved, and if there is anything we can do to help.

THANK YOU for posting that! Took a while to save all nearly 100 pics, but I'm going to have some reading material for a LONG time.

Good thing you saved them. Those are on my server which, for some reason, isn't responding right now and I'm not at home to fix it.

Yikes!

David, I didn't know it was you, who posted those. Credit where it's due! I'll remember who to thank, from now on. Well, as soon as you get your server fixed.

I've got the whole thing on CD if you need again. I could burn you a copy. shhhhh -- don't tell anybody.

Thumbs up

Yes,

Thanks for that David. I saved the whole lot to my hard drive, AND printed off a copy. Burned up a lot of my colour cartridge, but worth it.

I notice Harvey down under feels they did not fully understand the Iris valve on the inlet tracts. Wonder what part of their overview was technically incorrect??

I also was a bit aghast to see the wheels on backways on the pearlie. Two things to wonder at; were they using non-directional tyres on the pre-production test cars for the article? and if not, and they were directional, how would the car handle, and how safe would it be?

Maybe they did it on purpose to get better grip for rocking the car back and forth to get out of snowdrifts

Joe

I have a set saved too.

By the way, some of the instruction tape of the SVX (tape included with the car) has the wheels on backwards too! I didn't see any snow drifts though.

I actually ran home at lunch to fix the issue. My computer had reconnected to my ISP but it didn't update the DNS records for some reason. It's working fine now.

Just fair warning the dcss.dyn.dhs.org domain will eventually be phased out in favor of svx-iw.com.

The best way to load the Road & Track article is:
