Thats good news mate. Could still be Gearbox though. And your sure its coming from the front of the car, not the back? Or still unsure?

Heya Doug, funny you mention that as I discussed with the mechanic up here today that we may want to visit the rear brakes sometime this week, mind you my bank balance is just about shot.

would you know if the tin guards behind the disks and around the caliper area can be removed for good without affecting the performance of the car ??.

Cheers

Heya Bloke, we tried that last week when we had the L on the hoist and ran it with high revs in First, Second and Third gear and nothing showed up with that test.

There is a thin metal cover at the bottom of the bellhousing to close the gap between the bellhousing and engine, and also provides a good inspection gap to see the flywheel. Sometimes this can get bent up very slightly, just enough to rub against the flywheel ringgear and make grinding noises.

I have no idea WayneO, might be a question best addressed to Paul.

No noise when spinning on the Hoist...maybe because its not under load. Maybe the rear Diff?? got oil in it? You can pop the rear CV shafts out and it will eliminate the tailshaft, diff and bits that the tailshaft is connected to before the 4wd engagement thingymabob.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned the centre bearing yet Wayno.

If the tailshaft unis are good then it is more than likely there is nothing wrong with the centre bearing.

Can you video the noise in the car with the windows closed? or is it more an outside noise?
