Shaun,
As Mingey sez, the tyres are normally a fave for this, but check yer diff after a run, if its just slightly warm its ok, if yer can fry an egg on it like mine was its fubbarred.........

shaunsmith · Jul 8, 2007

neil i'll try that cheers

cashybai · Jul 8, 2007

Shaun,
No probs Mate, my dif fried due to dif oil leaking from a duf seal. The diffs on Capri 2.8's were notorious for being noisy if run on old oil/low oil. New oil or slik50/similar used to help em, but whiney difs were common. Fink with the landy diffs, if its whiney its fooked....

shaunsmith · Jul 8, 2007

i havent checked the oil level yet but i supose i better. is ep90 or trans fluid

shaunsmith · Jul 8, 2007

shaunsmith · Jul 9, 2007

i think the problem is cracked rear wheel bearing,

The cracked rear chassis/failed welds is a common one Shaun, pain to get to as well. Woulda fort it would give a banging rather than a whine tho Mad, not sure what a cracked wheel bearing'd sound like, daft as it sounds just eliminating the spensive stuff first if i can....

shaunsmith · Jul 11, 2007

had a good look at the sub frame seems ok. also took it 4 long run, felt the diff it was warm but not hot enough to cook an egg on so thats my t out of the window
