Broken rear axel on Land Rover

In the supermarket parking lot last week and shifted into reverse before I had fully stopped my forward motion and heard a loud KER-CHUNK! from under the truck. One of those sounds you know will be expensive. AAA transported me to my long-suffering mechanic who determined I had a broken rear axel.

Replacements on the way. So. I have two 40 year old vehicles in two different shops waiting for parts.
