Ok, I've ask this before I know but I'm not getting anywhere with my investigations...
At low speeds (up to 35mph) no noise at all. At faster speeds (35/40mph+) no noise on acceleration, no noise on braking, but when you coast with the throttle slightly depressed to maintain speed you have this clanking/grinding noise.
Foot on clutch, same noise until you start braking.
Someone suggested UJs - I got underneath and gave them a tug with the handbrake off and no movement other than a slight rotation with the prop.
I got a greasegun and went crazy on the nipples - they were a bit dry and I was hoping for a change in the noise, but on immediate test drive the exact same noise was there.
It sounds like its coming from the middle of the landy, but then noise travels, and short of hanging out of the open door on the dual carriageway I'm short on ideas apart from putting into the local garage for inspection and diagnosis.
Anyone, please, any suggestions??
I can take a digital recorder out with me, record the noise and post it here if anyone thinks it may help with the diagnosis?
Thanks in advance,
DC
