Thanks for your time and help in changing rear springs. Made a huge difference, more planted in corners (fast and slow), and even more stable at speed in a straight line.
Top job :y
-
Glad you got it sorted :y
-
I'd also like to add a thanks for their offer to help me replace the springs on my Senator, and the replacement spring from Matchless :y
Meet so many friendly people though this forum :y
-
Glad you got it sorted :y
Well not exactly...
Things were obviously going too well, so Matchless had to point out that my rear shocks were past there best :'(, but then it has done 138k, so mustn't complain :)

Any ideas on the cost of seal & diff oil?
If you get the nod, i'll drag my 2.2 up as well. (if thats ok Mark ;)) Think Jaime expressed a slight interest in replacing the oil in his too....

Oh well while Marks at it I will bring the MV6 and he can replace the head gaskets :D

....and how are you on Vactras if i bring a boot full of haggis ;D
-
Yeah, when is the next cambelt/whatever party? I need some peer pressure to wash mine. :D
No really, I need to fiddle with my downcast HID and a few other bits.
And I need to wash it . . . ::)
-
i am hoping the next party will be a diff oil party ;)
-
A bootful of haggis will certainly put Markie to the top of the list! ;D

At least the Haggis will mask the smell of the diff oil ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Remember, don't see a sorebones, and that a bit of pain never hurt anyone....
Although I'm sure you'll be fine in a couple of weeks if you rest, next time mechanically inept people (ie me) come round, you should simply be the gaffer, and leave the crawling to those who own the car? I'm sure in most cases, certainly mine, that its not an inability to do the job, more a confidence/guidance thing....?

And here too...
I am ready to get stuck into the Springs on my Senator. Its just guidance + confidence I need, even though its a 300 quid card, still very nevous about doing some jobs.

Looks like the offside

Ow....its an output shaft....thought it was a pinion seal...

When I had my MOT at the Vx Dealer, he reported pinion seal.
It looked wetter on the offside of the diff to me.
Don't frighten me Mark :(

Time to check 'round the breakers.

If it is what you say Mark, is it OK to drive?
-
I'll try and post a picture of it tomorrow.

Yeah, but ive got an output seal in stock and we get to practice on someone elses car before we do our own.
We will need the big crowbar and the mighty Thor on this one.
-
Mark, Matchless....would it help if I brought it over tonight, for you to have a look at?
You could then diagnose what was wrong and what parts are needed.

Bo Bo, you can do rocker gaskets and breathers, trust me ;). Passenger side ideally needs another pair of hands to hold bits out of way...
