Browner Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Well guys I'm on the boat now so have no internet on my phone I'm on a shitty pay as you go computer here lol Been on the road since late last night, drove down through Ireland and stayed overnight to catch the ferry across to Pembroke in Wales this morning. Car seemed to be driving fine apart from a couple of small noises but this morning I came sideways out of a junction near the boat and I heard a bang then clunk, clunk, clunk... I thought I had snapped another halfshaft so jacked it up under the rear axle and checked both back wheels for play and there was none. I made sure everything was tight and it was. I drove the car slowly down to the boat and the noise was barely noticeable. Under load while accelearting I cant hear anything but when I let off it starts banging and it seems to be getting worse. I got down to the boat and had to take off the front bumper, grill and sideskirts and adjust up the coilovers so the car could go up the ramp it was a right disaster! I'm going to change the diff oil when I arrive around 12:30 and try and prolong the diff as long as possible and take any filings away from it. I reckon the weld has broke in the rear diff. The car is still driving I'm just afraid of the back end locking up while driving. At this stage I just want to get it to Japfest does anyone have a rear diff or parts available or do yas reckon my own diff is fixable? Money isnt an issue I will pay good money to get the car right again I just dont want to get stuck over here :/ I will be online again once I land. My mobile number is 00353 86 378 4399 Thank you my UK Starlet friends Quote Link to post Share on other sites
