Noises From My Back End

No, not the trouser trumpet.
Noticed a kinda "clicking" noise coming from the back end lately. Its obvious at very low speeds, disappears/cant hear it at higher. Wonder if its connected to excessive wheelspinning?.....

????? wtf ???

Maybe you've bust a tooth off the diff,

or maybe you've got a stone in the brake drum

Close Logi. Here's a clue: TREstoneAD

Fuck's sake man, my iq is waaaaaay below that !!!!

Me doubts that muchly. Clue was for t'others.

Well, Easter Monday was interesting, was down at Moffat, popped round to see if the guy still had his old Spitfire in the front garden

After coming round the wee roundabout had a really loud clunking, esp as i braked. Methinks there's a bit missing from the galaxy

Maybe looking for a diff

Probably easier to swap the whole axle over.

More likely to find one for sale too.

Well, i'm buggered if i know what sup

Took the diff back plate off, it's got better teeth than me. Wee bit o backlash, but not excessive, dunno how much it should have but doesn't seem shagged? Wasted the toe of my Cat SRX's stopping one wheel(thought it was coming off the tyre, time for new bootees) no clunking, stopped the other side, same.

I'm f***in mystified?

What diff oil does it take and how much? (i could look it up but i'm betting HJ knows )

Lazy git (but you know I love it)

How bizarre though, wonder what's making this clunking.

I guess its inspect the brakes and hubs next.

Been there done that? Just had my botty pumped at Halfrauds for diff oil, but i need the van tomorrow after work(i'm levelling a garage site for yet more storage, can't see me getting a wheelbarrow etc in the Merc)

Just going to run it & see?

Still fucking rumbling & clunking!

Starting to wish i'd kept the old one, kinda busy just now, bike needs MOT'd before we go away in May, got this garage to dismantle, move and rebuild, i could do without the bloody hassle(and cos i need it to get stuff for building the garage i can't afford it to fuck up just now so i'm using the Merc to commute, 50 miles a day at 27mpg... )

Checked the propshaft?

End play/float in the diff input shaft thing?

checked your suspension?!

I think Daisy's asking if you have a saggy rear-end

My rear end is well firm, so is my shaft!

(as we speak i'm lubing my shaft....)

haha, yeah alright, just read your other thread.

well i suppose you've got to get the fun and excitement where and when you can

First time i've wished for a floppy shaft.....

Not getting a free replacement from Daihatsu either Some of the 2nd hand prices are ridiculous

I sold my spare prop shaft for £30, and it was in good nick.

No wonder he bit my hand off.

£30? I'd have taken the arm along with yer hand.


Upside is the new one's have came down in price, it's only around £230 now....

I was thinking, maybe you should ring some other dealers, or even the Daihatsu main UK head office on

CONTACT US

If you have any questions, please contact the Daihatsu Hub on 0121 730 8225.

Strangely enough i just noted that number down earlier, worth a shot for a goodwill gesture?

I could see a lot of Daihatsu dealers dodging work. They have always been a crap dealer network, and since they don't sell new cars anymore (not that they sold many anyway) I can't see them having a positive helpful attitude.

Shafted all right, doesnt come up on the system
Possibly cos it was a RN vehicle when new?

Do you mean RN - Royal Navy?
