That's the off side
near side near the kerb! I'd be lookin at the ird! All the ****in around could've had it out checked and back in! If you've only just bought it with the problem it's quite possible the ird oil has been changed they've told him its buggered so he's sold it with nice fresh oil and no bits in it! That's my guess

:doh: yep that's what I meant. NEARSIDE
i'm working towards a diagnosis here
IRD os bearing buggered beating thrust washers to death? Allowing excess play and its now fubared
beat you to itDD
yeah a bit of play before it seems to catch on nearside, so with this info are we thinking its a driveshaft issue???

ok so we thinking its still a ird issue with the play from the nearside??? i thought the nearside went into the gearbox so wouldnt that be a auto box issue??

only cos it's not the right answer
Me crystal balls broke! Personally I'd take it off and have a proper look!

ok so with this wear on the driveshaft its pointing to the ird, so this could be the 3/3.5 ratio locking up. so tomorrow i whip the ird unit out and how do i tell if it is worn from that point
cheers
getting really confused now, nearside is nearest kerb

Think you're looking at a partial or complete strip down cos at the minute you're going nowhere, you haven't really found much to go on, the IRD is the most likely suspect especially if you have play in the shaft!

That's the offside drive shaft but its the nearside joint of the offside driveshaft that goes into the offside of the IRD the nearside's near the kerb tho

Did that help?

yeah i agree lol
ok so tomo will take ird unit out and see if any signs of damage, is there a way i can run the car without the ird unit in place, like a drive shaft end in place if the shaft theat goes into the gear box just to start it and run to make sure it dont lock up as i dont want to spend on a ird unit if its the box, as the car will be scrapped if its the box
