You don't carry a spare? Looks like it may have been running under inflated.
No spare as its got lpg tank in spare wheel well. I do carry a repair kit but was beyond that.
I checked pressures yesterday knowing I had a long drive to do and they were fine.. I'd just been to the previous services for coffee so I think I picked up a nail or something there.
Hey ho, these things happen. First puncture I've had in over 10 years so I can't complain.
If anyone has a spare 20" L322 wheel knocking around cheap, I'd be interested.
 
It seems they are not strong enough for off road abuse then? Any oil in the diff? Front UJ OK??
Not very strong at nearly 20yr old and 210.000 MLS . Diff oils done last year and props checked and always greased. :) I think accelerated wear due to gentle offroading may be leading to early bed for the front diff!!:eek:

No matter how you look at it, regular off-roading really stresses components. And many of the roads aren't much better.
 
I stuck her through a local carwash then brought her home and gave her a polish.

Not too bad, but the ruddy wood-pigeons have left a lasting impression on the paintwork and I have no idea how to or even if it can be removed @biketeacherdave any suggestions?

and to top it all, the enemy saw me doing such a fine job they insisted I turn to and do their Mini All-4 too. Bloody cheek I calls it ;)

I know @Mark Piercy , it shouldn't really be allowed. Cleaning a car in the Sun is hard work.
19yrs old this year and still <20K on the clock. Probably a ringer or a cut-n-shut special but it would have been a lot of work to put it together this good; even the seats are all unmarked/un-creased.
I paid a kings ransom for it and I felt really stupid afterwards, but it was looking/feeling like new when I bought it in 2017.
 
Mine had a period where the nuts holding the diff to the axle case kept coming loose letting the oil seep away.
Do you have a spare diff?
I do Keith, I've two. Front and rear. I need to clear the garage and pull it's nose out. I'll start with the drive shafts and hopefully I may find the movement in one of them.. it only clicks on going from a stopping and changing into to reverse or from a stop into drive.
More like a clunk.
I pulled the front driveshaft off this afternoon and the movement in the prop flange was identical to the rear movement but obviously something is a bit slack inside.... The oil has a trace of black in it but clearish ...

You need a hair dryer on max setting from anything from 3 to 15 mins....honestly

I had a click going from forward to reverse as slack in the drivetrain was taken up. Heard it from rear offside with window open. Wammers pulled out a TSB where it said to glue the driveshaft splines in the hub using green Loctite, 648? No clicks / clunks since.

Thinking about it, mine started after some offroading too.

I'll have a thread on it somewhere!
