Cheers for that Jon.
I'm going to try and drop the oil and check the pinion and take it from there.
As I say with the prop fitted it drives fine no knocking etc until you put it on full lock, 3/4 lock it's fine.
With the prop off there are no symptoms at all.
With the IRD shot it then enters...

Great pic.
I'll certainly do the tests on my CVU and depending what I find with the other bits (IRD and diff) will enable me to make the call on a recon VCU.
Watch this space

technically both I suppose, she has t 2 functioning kidneys and keeps my gentleman bits in her handbag.

Ooo it's purdy.
I've gone a bit tingly in my gentleman bits.
I'd have to sell a kidney to get one at the moment, that said the missus has 2.
I'm sure she wouldn't miss one.

Because I'm a bit odd like that my thinking at this point after walking the dogs is to:
Put it back on and do the OWUT as there is data on here from others that have done it, I can then add my findings.
As you say I've got to strip it down anyway then do the bench test. I'm interested in what...

Humph.
Today it has actually stopped raining so I thought I'd have a quick look at bench testing the VCU.
But
It looks a bit more tricky than I thought. I thought clamp one end in the vice and rotate the other end prop through 90 degree, attach weight and Bobs your uncle.
Nar, ain't gonna...

Hiya, I'm new here too.

I'm really kicking myself for not doing the OWUT but it was soo friggin cold and wet.
I had to change clothes 3 times during the job I was so wet.
I will do the bench test and video it.
When we altered out house extension:
me "that room needs to be converted into a garage"
missus "no, I want...

On the Bells video of the bench test of the VCU it states a bar length of 780mm (it actually just looks like one half of the prop shaft, I could be wrong) and a weight of 7Kg.
It appears to take approx. 6 seconds to rotate from the 45 degree angle to level with the ground.
Will give it a go

Thank you very much everyone.
I know it would have been best to do the OWUT but as I say the weather was terrible today and with only having a few hours I thought I'd best get the car in a runnable condition.
I'll look into the bench test but may just run it over to Bell and have them look at...

Must admit that's where I'm looking at the moment :(
It was only a get back through winter kinda buy but I do like it.

It's cer
It's certainly looking that way wammers.
It drives fine on 2WD but for how long is the question.
I only paid £400 for it with a pretty new set of tires, new cat and 11 months MOT so I'll not lose much selling it for spares if worse comes to the worse.
It's just that I quite like it...

The problem I'm having is how to isolate which bit is the problem.
