Thanks. The front wheel bearings were replaced about 6000 km ago. I saw the grease go in. And the bearings were still on the shaft. Although fused by heat. Mechanic thinks seal on diff side failed

Well thTs a great offer thanks mate, I've asked for photos as he pulls it apart. I'll put them here but another post.

As soon as I find out what's wrong I'll let you know.

RAC have agreed to Pay $3000 of the recovery. Phew.

Worked fine so far when I have never "needed" it. You know hi honey what's the footy score etc. Pretty pissed that it didn't yesterday. Was in open. Facing the right way. Even stood on one leg ;)

It's locked in at a bush police station. I got a lift for the last 200km. Then will have to get a charter plane back to Darwin Friday.

Truck left Darwin at sparrows this morning to go get ute. :(

My vehicle is serviced every 5000km and had all new wheel bearings 6 weeks ago. I'm hopeless with mechanics but pay to have it over maintained. Any ever found it's fixed there and then.
