Had a flat tyre, now what's wrong.

You kinda have to accept things like this from those that don't know their arse from their elbow about cars.

Had a Golf Tdi in today, job card said "bonnet rattling", goes out to the carpark, pops the bonnet, wiggle, push, latch, jump up and down... Nope Can't find anything wrong with that, better take it for a drive, see if I can hear any thing...
Sticks it in reverse and pulls out from the parking space.

WTF in hell is THAT.
Straight in on the ramp, up in the air and the driveshaft ends on both sides of the gearbox are just husks sat in a mashed hole loosely connected to the diff. The gear oil has long since exited the gaping holes where seals and bearings should be and the whole diff assembly can jangled about by hand.

BONNET RATTLE!!! JESUS H CHRIST

lol biggest understatement of the century then ?
