DaveK Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 The diff mounts have arrived, and I dropped my car at Phoenix this morning. It's having a service, MOT, getting the squeaky clutch pedal fixed, an investigation into why there is a little white smoke from the exhaust sometimes and - of course - the diff mounts. I pick it up in a week, and will update this thread with the result. It's fairly important since it will have a direct result on how hard I try to sell it.

DaveK Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 diff mounts.... there`s only one isn`t there?? OK - diff mount. However - it is made up of more than one piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Just called Phoenix because I forgot to ask Mark to change the gearbox oil (should hopefully remove the occasional reluctance to go into reverse when cold). It now seems the diff mount may not be the cause. While changing it, he noticed a small amount of rust around the lower control arm on one side (think that's what he called it) - and if he forces it at the right angle, he can find play there. So - my diff mount had been done, and this control arm will also be done. He's confident this will cure the problem - but if it does come back cured, I won't actually be able to tell which was really the problem.

Mike B Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 My first car had play in the rear control arms. It was like a new car when I had them replaced. None of the cars I have had since then have any play in the ontrol arms, but I always check! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
