michufc Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Hi to all I have only had this l200 for a couple of months and went out last night lamping for the fist time in this truck so I pulled into the field engaged the 4x4L and set off fine through the first gate then I had it on full lock and I could hear a loud clunk noise until straight then again in reverse so this panicked me so headed home. Once out on the road back into 2wd H and no more noises even on lock any ideas please Cheers mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Possibly a cv joint on the way out not a big issue if so the joints are fairly easy to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michufc Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 That is what I was guessing but I was not sure if there was a common known fault My misses won't be to chuffed as I got rid of my 90 because I was always working on it so I sold on the l200 so I didn't have to do anything to it opps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I have had one go and that was on my first that had been a SHB hire vehicle and worked hard so I wouldn't say its common, just one of those things. Mine did go completely bearings jammed and I had to drive home in 4x4 which wasn't ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Sure it wasn't a diff lock issue? Not sure if the vehicle has them fitted but even in the field, on full lock, they can make that noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It causes it to jump,you obviously dont require 4x4 because it sounds like you have full traction, if you didnt it wouldnt do it. I think its called transmision wind up up similar, when both drive shafts want to go different speeds but cant, its not good to do it, expensive repairs i think.

Dougy Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Apparently it may stick, I'm no expert on this but the lads at work are, I'll ask tonight, unless someone else comes in to advise which no doubt they will. But from what I gather it could to some damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
