la bala Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Coming home from walking the dog yesterday, had a whoom whoom whoom develope. Athough i had done the hardy spices on the rear prop 12 months ago i whipped it off for a look, both good. Have given the rear wheels a good rock, no apparent wheel bearing play. Havnt taken the rear wheels of yet to check for blebs on tyres. I am wondering now if its diff or out shaft on transfer box.. I will also check engine and gearbox mounts, but any further pointers from the series boys on here would be welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONY R Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 You will find it easy enough, if its making a noise you can notice on a series its going to be something you can tell is warn simply by looking its going to be obvious what it is.

HH1 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Does the noise increase / decrease at a given speed with clutch pushed in? Engine under load.... Have you considered the drum / shoes of the handbrake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered the drum / shoes of the handbrake? Noise increases and decreases in normal driving conditions. Backed the handbrake shoes off and readjusted yesterday. Definitely think its somewhere on the drive train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bud, have rebuilt many engines in my life, but never attempted a gearbox, have been looking at the price of parts and considering having a go. Will certainly keep your offer in mind, as we all know some overdrives alone are priced up toward a couple of hundred quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji Shooter Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Hey Ditchy, do you get your Seasick Steve gear on when you ride around on it? Quality Ride, you could bring that to our monthly straw bale shoot and not look out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
