Ok, so I managed to get my newly purchased S2a through its MOT with
only minor work, and I thought I was ready for a bit of gentle off
roading.
On its first trip out it performed very well and I thought all was
OK.... Until I decided that I'd had enough and tried to drive home.
As soon as I put the Landy back in to high range and got on to the road
I noticed a clonking noise coming from the gear box direction. I
stopped and checked to see if any damage was evident - none, checked
the oil levels in the gear and transfer box - OK. The funny thing is
that the noise still occurs when moving but out of gear, and yet it is
coming from the gear box area (but I suppose that the rear wheels still
turn the gear box when its out of gear). I managed to limp the 5 miles
home driving very gingerly because the noise definitely increased with
the revs.
Has anyone got any good suggestions for what could have gone wrong?
Possibly some stripped teeth?
Thanks
