It was just a thought as it sounds a bit of a juggling act to remove the lot in one go without damaging any of the cv joints and it will be a few weeks before i can get a new vcu + bearings so thought the best place to leave the rest of the bits was on the car rather than lying around in the...

My VCU is on its way out so I want to remove my rear propshaft to prevent any damage to IRD. I have searched and found a guide on how to remove the whole drive train to the rear is frontprop , vcu and rear prop. My question is can the rear shaft be removed by itself without removing the rest...

2 bolts per side behind it. usually a grade A pain in the arse

look forward to seeing the finished project driving around, i m from dewsbury. If your dad cant get you metal for patching try A & G Welding Fabrications down grange rd.They always seem to have a well stocked off cut bin they will part with for a few beer tokens.

Well as the weather is so crap at the moment decided to look at tidying up the inside of my 20 year old d1 the other week.Did a bit of research on here and people seem to be using Veltrim.Got some off Ebay local to me so went to pick it up today (tight arse i am didnt want to pay postage).Got...

Can you make the gears crunch at all by selecting gears and not using clutch fully.If you can then clutch ok.Get someone to look underneath (safely) while you try to engage drive to see if either prop spins.If one does while the other one stationary i would suspect a bust diff (oops just reread...

About 6 months ago i rebuilt the rear suspension on my 200tdi with new springs and new terrafirma shock absorbers .Was all good.Recently it aint felt right and started banging over the larger holes (all on road stuff).I checked everything underneath all looked ok.I removed the shocks and have...

Well thanks to everyone for their help on here.Replaced the drop links and tis cured.Even though they looked pretty new the upper ball joint on one side was slack as a bag of knackers.

Ok everyone thanks for all the ideas of things to check will let you know what i find. I did find a mention of shock absorbers on here when i was looking for help before but cant seem to find the thread again.Could the rotational part at the top turret cause such noise ?

On going saga.Replaced both wishbones and all associated bushes along with arb bushes and lower engine mount which was flapping about in the breeze on close inspection.Aint done droplinks as they look pretty new.The bloody knocking is still there.Any more ideas?

I just fitted a normal one with vac and boost no problem

Thats spot on mate cheers for that going to be dead usefull.

Prepared to be slated here and done a search. How do you torque up these bolts as you cannot get a socket and conventional torque wrench on.

Well i taught my better half to drive in my 200. Then she had a few lessons in a normal car that she would do the test in, and she passed first time.The ironic thing is to now insure her on the 200 as a licence holder is too expensive .

Well got hold of a full front axle for my 200tdi (didnt realize quite how heavy they were.Going to be my winter indoor project, a full strip down clean up and rebuild with new bearings seals etc.My question is how can i check the diff is ok. It works i checked that before i bought it but thats...

As a matter of interest where did you find the kits from. cheers

Dash vents only allow fresh air in.Heat goes to frnt and rear foot wells and screen demist only

May be a daft suggestion but could it be leaking from the heater matrix inside the car hence no puddles.You did say it was gurgling on start up from bulkhead area prob this near where pipes go through ?

cheers for the replies. i actually ment the bolts for the wishbones though i am still non the wiser though i do know the part no's but not actually what they are so i cant go to my nut and bolt shop.

Well I have finally taken the plunge and got a pair of new wishbones and associated bushes to try and eliminate this infernal knocking. Was underneath it at the weekend and managed to move most of the bolts apart from the front wishbone to subframe as I ain't managed to get the engine undertray...
