Well the freebie is gone and replaced with a diesel vectra. Just in time too by the sounds of it. The rumble i thought was vcu bearings again turned out to be back diff or at least those bearing according to new owner. Straight swap too. Better mpg obviously, speed and less stress. Not...

Im sure they had GKN stamped on them

I replaced my VCU bearings earlier this year ( bought from Foundry 4x4 and fitted by local garage) as there was a constant rumbling noise when moving. Not so long afterwards i noted a similar but greatly reduced noise. The landy would only have done 1-2k miles at most in this time. The...
