Banging Noise Sorted

[Guest MarkB]

As some will know, my car devoloped a nasty knock on gear change on the way to Newark ... well i got it on the ramp this afternoon and the rear prop uj was proper goosed... infact when the prop was removed a part of the uj fell off.

 

 

55 minutes and a couple quid later.. cars back to normal :clapping:

I bet that st engine helped the UJ on it's way!

 

55 mins....what took you so long!! did that include a couple of cuppas!!

 

but seriously! Glad it's sorted. It took me much longer and I needed the A-team (mankini and Dan) to help put it all back together (diff, drive shafts etc...).

i had one of my lads help and a four poster ramp... it did include a cuppa and 2 smokes, after what Dan said i thought the diff was going to be a nightmare to get back in, but with the use of the pumping stand it slotted straight back

Hi Marcus

 

Hate to say I told you so......but

 

Give me a shout and I'll let you know what you need to do to modify the brackets, as both of mine went. It's a very common issue on the sliding pillar set up. The flat plate which the spring sits on tends to crack.

Hi Mark,

 

Glad you got it sorted mate.

When you said you had a noise from the back end, Emma told me this was quite normal for you.... :rofl:
