when the bearings have gone, with high speed, we lose a lot of oil on the motoway

I'm not sure if what I can hear is the differential humming an aria, or just the resonance from the exhaust... I've got a tube of the molyslip stuff somewhere but everyone I've spoken to has said it's rubbish...

So I don't know what to do

I can't comment on the effectiveness of the Molyslip as I have
not tried it but this was not the normal Molyslip for engines, it
was specifically for gearboxes and rear axles,and it was nearly
£9-00! not much cheaper than the 1 1/2litres of EP 140. The
only STP I ever tried was for 'tired engines' and it definitely
worked, for a while!.

Just had a look in the garage - the one I have is for gearboxes and final-drive units, but not automatic trannies or LSDs... Do you reckon I should give it a go, or leave her humming gently to herself?

I've already got the powerful stereo to drown out her own musical abilities, but I have been wondering if I'm going deaf...

I must say that I get a few strange looks when I pull up at the lights with Peter, Paul and Mary blaring out... hehehe
