	Good Dusty, at leased you managed to fix yours, I lost the will with mine, I have a massive load of extras etc to bolt on it so I will save them for my next one.

Here is a little tidbit to keep in the back of your mind. "Perseverance conquers Adversity." Or as old Winston Churchill might say "Keep a stiff upper lip".

A bad day at gold prospecting or metal detecting is better than a good day at work.

	I had spent over $1000 on trying to fix it and about another $1500 on Winches and stuff for it and they want $200 an hour to look at it plus parts so I decided to call it a Day.

Gosh, that's a lot of dough. I guess I  should consider myself fortunate that I am able to make my own repairs. Due to age though I have recently have had to stop when it comes to transmission, engine  and differential replacements. It ain't bad getting older it's bad getting old.

	I could of Fixed it no problem But In the Rules of my Apartment Lease there is a Clause about not working on Cars so That was the straw that broke the camels back, or I would have fixed it my self.

I bet you would have done a better job too, and got to the problem straight away. I also live in an apartment, but rent month to month, no lease. They don't want me working on cars either, but what tbey don't know won't hurt 'em. I never leave a trace, and do major work elsewhere. Fortunately it's a very small apartment with only 3 residents, and we kind of look out for each other, and help keep the place looking neat. I guess I'm just lucky all around.
