I could REALLY use that right about now.

I was driving home from work and heard a very unpleasant whining noise. I coincided with a Nissan Navara pulling alongside, and it was besise me for a fair while. Then it drove off and the noise remained

Definitely from the front of the car, almost certainly transmission / driveline related. Engine is fine pleny of oil - noise only evident when car in motion.

Pulled off next exit. Had a close look. I think it's the front diff. There's plenty of oil on the rear of the housing, but none on the front. fill and drain plugs are in place as they should be. Hmmm.

Anyway the car is sitting outside of M.R. Automotive as we speak ( read ? )

Where's the "bugger" emoticon....





Discuss,

Hmm, Not good. I had a Def 110 recently where it had developed a leak from around the front diff mounting flange, ALL the nuts were loose

JC, I used to regularly tighten diff centre bolts on Discos and Defenders in Alice. It was just about a service item to check them. Corrugations were the problem I think.

Agreed, I have done heaps on D2's etc too. Just mentioned that one in particular because it was sooo bad. It will require removal and resealing at the next service if it hasn't stopped dripping Jon, did you ever see many rear ones come loose? All of mine seem to be fronts...

hmmm fiddlesticks...now that is a new word for **** this bloody diff

Mrs hh

Would anyone who has a vehicle at M.R. this week please ring them and say

"I'm in no hurry for my vehicle please fix Michael's ute first".

Thanks
