Hello all, I hope you have all had a good Xmas. I was doing well until the bloody car started playing up. This is possibly part of an old issue I’ve discussed before but I didn’t address it as I felt I could live with it. Anyway. When the engine is hot but sometimes when it’s cold, pulling...

Yeah is got the amber indis. Missing rear light guards though as some toerag had them off when I was parked in London.

Yeah I need the number ten. I'm off to my local Landy scrappy. It's gonna be a bit of a walk in the morning but I'll be back on the road by lunch time

Ok, first big issue I noticed. And this is mostly the cause of all these issues. The engine mount on the right side one of the bolts had undone and the other had snapped.............. so that will explain the vibration, noise and everything else. So my first issue now is to find replacements...

I'm gonna have a look tomorrow at the near side which were I believe the vibration is coming from. Hopefully it won't be too bad. Maybe a diff drive shaft or something

This all sounds exspensive

The whirring sound sounds like loose bearings. The car doesn't move if it's in neutral and idling, you just depress the clutch and you can hear it briefly then it stops. Similar to a old skate board wheel. Obviously louder. It still has Drive and will go but the noise and vibration is horrific...

I had the IRD replaced 5 months ago. It's a two wheel drive IRD. The tyres have not been changed since before that. I had the clutch replaced this time last year. The drive shafts 2 months ago. All in all I'm fuming. If stationary but idling if you depress the clutch it makes a whirring noise...

So today driving back from stansted airport piece of scrap car goes bang and the vibrates like hell. Had to get home as I had a friend in the car who had just flown in. Vibrated all the way. Pulled ok, but was vibrating all over the shop and was really noises. When I got home it was really...

Sorry for the late response. I got two missing disc screws and fitted them that day. No more noise. Who knows could The are on the way out. New issue now as the fuel gauge has a life of its own. Never ending!

I think I've found the problem. I feel quite ashamed. Took it to my local garage this morning. Tourqued up the wheel correctly etc. N/s wheel bolts looser than they should of been, N/s hub nut needed tightening. And the worst bit of all.... the disc screws missing. It sounded like a buckled...

Ok new issue. So I'm a army reserve with a reme unit. Had them look at my car last week and found that both my drive shafts are shagged. So bought new ones. And got them fitted today. Standard army mechanics, got them fitted mega quick and everyone happy until I pull away and find that there a...

Star!!! Ordered

Hi I'm looking for a bracket mount that attatches the down pipe of the exhaust to the IRD unit. Goes from the exhaust part picture to the two bottom bolts of the IRD. Do you have it? Or maybe you know the damn part number.

I had to press gang a neighbour into helping lift it. Tied some strapping round it and lifted it from above whilst I positioned it. Nightmare.

I didn't stop for coffee as I was using a neighbours drive and wanted to get it done and off his drive. Feeling it today. Very sore. Yeah happy it's done. Just need to find an exhaust bracket and refit the prop. I think the drop links have gone again too. That will be my 3rd set in 2 years. If...

Today I changed the IRD. Worst job of my life. I did have a buddy to help who then changed his mind. By this point I'd already drained all the fluids. It's was a **** to get out. And then I realised I wasn't strong enough to lift the ****ing thing in the gap whilst laying flat on the ground...

I drove back from Plymouth to Essex yesterday. It pulls fine when past 2nd gear but after a long run and when you sit in traffic and then attempt to pull away in first it judders to hell to the point the exhaust bangs about. When in top gear and going anywhere over 70 it rattles a lot. The gear...

Sorry I've been on holidays and I thought I had solved this issue. But alas it's not sorted. I thought it was just the lever arm so gave it a spray with wd40 and it sort of went away but I've noticed it's a lot worse when the engine is hot during a long run. If trying to hill start in traffic it...

As per usual guys your a font of knowledge
