bungy 2 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 (h) Ordered a replacement screen with top tint today, can't fit it until next week though (h) Link to post Share on other sites
The Monk 50 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Removed drieshafts and took gearbox off the car.Suspicions confirmed, input shaft bearing is FUBAR'd. Their is about 5mm of play/wobble at the spline.Turning the spline creates a click that can be heard and felt every 3rd of a turn.... grinding noise explained.Other gearbox on tomorrow and fingers crossed all will be well.

b19drg 0 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I bet every car that goes in there today will have warped discs , then tomorrow brake pads that only have about 1 mile left but seeing as your there now they may as well change them for you , then on monday tyres that are just starting to wear on the inside edges and a full wheel alignment is needed ! They only care about how much ya gonna spend ! Link to post Share on other sites
