    Excessive Front Diff Lash

    Small update... So it's looking like the near side CV joint in the half shaft is the prime culprit.... It's now giving a loud clicking at full lock. Witht he front jacked up and the prop shaft disconnected, the offside wheel turns the pinion flange directly, no real lash.... Not so the near...

    Excessive Front Diff Lash

    indeed :blush: So mamanged to chat with the local Terrain Tamer guy and he's of the opinion it's the UJ on the drive shaft that's on its way out. There's no oil seeping past the wipers and the bearings are ok so it sounds a reasonale diagnosis. And if there's a lot of slack or slop in the UJ...

    Excessive Front Diff Lash

    thanks! I'll give that a go. I suspect it's the near side (RHD vehicle) as there's some clinky clanky type noises coming from that side......

    Excessive Front Diff Lash

    Many thanks again. Given what you say Chris, that the turning of the prop shaft will indicate all possible movement in the axle and halfshaft driveline when the wheels are on the road as well as some odd noises coming from the front near side wheel has me thinking the knuckle/burfield/halfshaft...

    Excessive Front Diff Lash

    Hi Frank, Thanks for your reply. So the lash is enough that it 'clunks' when you put it in gear (auto) or change down. having been under the car, the drive shaft can be moved a lot CW or CCW and I would have thought the lash between the crown & pinion would be such that if a burfield is going...

    Excessive Front Diff Lash

    Hi Guy's, My 80 has developed what looks like a HUGE amount of lash on the front diff where the drive shaft connects. Apart from clunking when you change gear, you can turn the driveshaft by hand maybe 10 or 15 degrees. So is likely to be a pinion issue or could a faulty half shaft/burfield...

    Replacement Drivers Side Seat Foam

    Thanks for your reply. Looking at your pictures, I know my outside bolster is a mess as it's dopping foam particles onto the carpet and it's collapsed so offers no side support so I suspect mine isn't far away from what yours looks like. If replacement bolsters are rare, I might look at bonding...

    Replacement Drivers Side Seat Foam

    Hi Guys, Can anyone recommend a source for a replacement drivers side seat foam for an 80 VX? With >400k the seat bolster is falling apart although the velour is in very good shape. Thanks

    ClimateControl Heater Servo

    Hi Guys, Before I get villified, I checked the stickies but the Climate Control sticky isn't coming up. :) So, I have a somewhat old and tired 80 VX with Climate Control. The AC cold side works a charm, as chilly as you like within a few minutes of starting. Auto function works a charm, and...
