Got to work on the Mav while hangover from the party last night.

Took the original diff out and discovered its 3.9 not 4.11 as I’d originally assumed, so we’re swapping diff centres as we can’t...

No progress lately, I’ve been busy partying, planning for 2020 at work and mate is constantly knackered, hopefully I’ll get to spanner on it this weekend depending on said mate’s availability.
