Putting Jade thru her paces with northern visitor Mr One Off an unusual noise manifested itself
In both high and low range four wheel drive a knock knock sound came from what seemed to be the handbrake region, pulling handbrake on a few clicks did nothing to cure it.
This noise is only there on a very steep descent using the engine as a brake. Under power the noise disappears in high and low range, also not there freewheeling on the flat or moderate downhills
I put the problem past my 85 year old mechanic mate and he said its an old Pommy car, and started to tell me about.... to much end float, thrust washers and helical cut gears and not to worry about it. Then the conversation turned to problems he was having with a poor tradie job involving electrolysis between gal and zincalum sheets on his shed, which at the time seemed more important than my noises
Thought I'd throw it out there to the forum, any ideas and is it nothing to worry about
Cheers Paul
