#1: Hit kerb, lost reverse on one side Author: Theden82, Location: HertfordshirePosted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 11:52 am ---- Hi, hope someone can help.
Just been out in the snow and unfortunately hit the kerb on the left side.
When I goto reverse the right hand side wheel goes round but the left doesn't. Followed by a straining motor sound. Driving forward tho is fine!
Any help or suggestions would be great! Last edited by Theden82 on Sat Dec 18, 2010 1:21 pm; edited 1 time in total

Just front left hand side wheel doesn't reverse. Begins to whine at biting point. Right hand moves fine.

Or something happens when your travelling at speed or main road etc.. For your saftey & anyone else's
#11: Re: Hit kerb, lost reverse on one side Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 2:09 pm ---- well there must be something got damaged in the left hand axle,i don't think it's a good idea to drive it,cuz make that will make things worse,specially in the transmission.

#14: Re: Hit kerb, lost reverse on one side Author: Theden82, Location: HertfordshirePosted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 5:02 pm ---- Apologies but I don't know about motors. If it is something todo with the diff, what does that mean? And cost ?
