Who has broken more parts than me? :)

**Stav** · 12-02-2010, 08:04 PM

Im just wondering what I havent broken on the wagon yet? Engine..3 times? 5 gearboxes...recoed diff before it blew..broken ball joints..broken rims..tyres..3 brake boosters..Broke 5 wheel studs clean off in the m5 easy tunnel once.. Power steering pump number 3 ... alternator 3 ..radiator 4? Water heater under dash...power windows..rear wiper..rear tailgate hinges..
ac buttons..shockies.. traction bars broken from tunnel fiasco... Door locks..tailgate locks.. Handles busted..
Looking back I am thinking that I may be a bot rough around the edges..perhaps I may shave my head and join monks in some remote mountains for a while to mellow out? Not sure.
Do you think you have broken more parts than I have? If so please tell.

The only AUs i've ever seen go through more parts than you stav have been taxis. And even then there are some cabs that will do well over half a million without replacing much at all apart from consumables.

In fact if i ever had a car that caused me anywhere remotely near the amount of stuff you have broken stav i would have cut my losses a lot earlier and bought a car thats worth more than a few grand.

blueoval · 13-02-2010, 02:46 AM

it takes someone special to be as persevering as you with a list that long Stav.

The Monty · 13-02-2010, 07:59 AM

Parts over 5 years and 2 AU's that have broken:
Extension housing, bush, 2 seals. Output shaft and a bearing. Power steering pump pulley and a radiator that should have been replaced when I bought it anyway. This was all in the 3 weeks.

Thats all Ive broken after building an modifying 2 AU's that both done 14's, and got driven hard every day of there lives. Combined KM I put on them was around 170 000km.

tex · 13-02-2010, 08:32 AM

I agree with some others, reckon Kev would take that crown.

All hail Kev.

It will be Ok Stav You should have stipulated AU bits, But as the First BA is just a tarted up (or is that down) AU we could arrange a crown each

: If you could see the piles of twisted diffs, input shafts,motors, Clutches from singles to twin platers to pressure plates in the back shed (BIN) along side the 3 spare gear boxes (which he now can do a complete change over by himself in under 55 mins.) it would bring a smile to your face

55 minutes to change the box, he needs to pick up his act, a mate has it down to 30 minutes including fresh oil in the box.
