Whatever it is, it's not good is it? Far too many premature drivetrain failures for what are supposed to be brutally simple cars IMHO. Good job you're one of those highly remunerated city slicker IT boffins! smile

no the early drive chain failures are not good especially for non abused cars aka not tracked not dragged etc.
