OK, I have a bit of an update.....
I managed to get hold of a replacement front diff from Silverlake.....came next day, and looks fairly healthy, 6 month warranty. However, the very next day, as I was getting kids in the car for breakfast club, there was an almighty screech from the rear left as I shut the door. Get in the car, "Parking Brake Failed" error message, and the wheel is firmly locked.....
Spoke to the garage I was going to take it to for the diff replacement, who are busy for over a week, stating it's a fairly common but expensive fault.
I've attempted to free the wheel up, using all the methods that Google/Chat have suggested, to the point where I simply cannot get the brake disc off, and I didn't want to cause further problems where the car is.
So, I am investigating recovery, but where should I go?
A ) Recover to garage and wait until they can look at both problems
B ) Recover to home, see if I can get the disc off or get a mobile mechanic to assist
C ) Recover to home, see who can look at it soonist, and then re-recover to there
Any other ideas and/or suggestions appreciated,
Many thanks in advance
