Just got clutch and cambelt sorted, but now hearing a slight whiney noise from the back. Different noise to when I had a wheel bearing go on me, so I'm thinking either the diff or the uni-joint on a rear half-shaft. Any ideas on how to find out which it is?
Because the clutch was so knackered, it was shaking the drivetrain like hell, and I'm worried that's knackered the diff, there's a bit of play on the input flange now. It's a shame, especially as Stevetigger told me it had only done 75k when he sold me it. Any chance of a diff going that early if it's had regular oil changes? The oil's still really clean in it when I checked - still yellow and fairly clear.
And on a side note, if I need one, has anyone got a 3.91 diff in amazing brand new condition (for less than Ԛ£40
)?But it could also be a uni-joint, as the gaitor on it has been damaged at some point, and there's a line of oil sprayed out over the bottom of the chassis. But it's been like that for ages, and I was just crossing my fingers it would last, as the actual shaft was slightly damage around the seal and even with a new gaitor wouldn't have been right - means a whole new half-shaft.
Any ideas?
