hey tommy... mate you should have seen the lines i pulled... some of my best work

BUT


LEO IS SICK
just got in...
i took him out on a nice sunny drive this afternoon. 30 mins in pulling off main road, change down to third... POP
i thought id blown a fan belt or something ... nothing wrong, nothing looked wrong. drove home 8km with this clunking/knocking noise... it was like cloths in the dryer with 3 bolts tossed in.
3,4,5 calls the doctor muller... CV's, engine mounts, swing arm, IRS, hand brake cable, rear drums all checked... fUcKiNg nothing
took him for another quick drive (500m) same noise. spewing, dont know what it is... can NOT find anything. no oil leaks. all bolts tight... my worst fear... something internal... tomorrow will tell... just another day of a kombi owner



Farking Pissed...

Are you sure it wasnt just those marbles floating around inside your head. My head sometimes makes that noise..

Does it do it when stationary? Or does it only do it when driving?

only when drving... bigger the bump... louder the noise.

So its not engine, doesnt sound like gearbox, soo thats a relief...

Need to get tanya to drive nd you hang on the back and listen...

did you check that all the cv bolts are tight or that maybe one or more of the ball bearings are shattered in the cv's.
the other i don't want to mention main bearing, hope its nothing to do with it but its a worst case scenario, i say that as in our bus the main bearing is not as tight as it should be(has play in it) & soon its going to go .

spring plates not bottoming out , they make a good noise when they hit.

Are you sure it's not the bolts on the outer CV on drivers side, are all six bolts still there. Cheers, Mike

a few more drives up & down the road.
a few more hours...
not CV's
not sprong plates
not any bolts
not main bearing thank fark

BUT found the little mother f#$ker




off to the doctors tomorrow.

well that must be a relief, its not good but its not too bad its a bit of welding rather than motor/gearbox.

looks like it was fatigued for a while , get a large 3mm plate welded behind it plug welded to frame then weld shock mount to it , should spread the load a bit better. hows the other side?

FC... because im so mech minded... if i take this to a welder he will know what your talking about
can most welders do this sort of job? other side is fine... i shock the shit out of it but will get welder to check it

yeah wally... slight problem... but nothing major which is good.

Good work mate. I'd be pretty happy if I found that was the issue. Easy fix really (though a touch fiddly).

You gotta stop taking Leo off those jumps mate.

You'll have this all wrapped up by Sunday though yeah?
