Big thank you to THE MASTER

Although he said he couldn't find anything wrong with the steering and suspension, he's cured it :y

No more creaking or knocking :y

Thanks also for all the other work you did Mark :y

I had something similar after a 300 mile roundtrip to pinkys and back a few weeks ago.
The car had been up and down on the stands for months with just town work inbetween  :(

Everytime I pulled away or turned a corner the tinker groaned just like swmbo  ;D
I just left it for a week or so then just give every nut and bolt I could get too a tweak while it was sat on its wheels  :y

Nothing found but the groaning stopped  :y :y

Then again, it might of had something to do with the gag on swmbo's mouth  :-X :-X :-X ;D

As I recall, the knock was a single noise from the grinde. Ie add a series of knocks together, and we had a creak. A real heavy creak.

Next time we're up we can have another go if you like....?

Our Mig has a single knock on steering, that suggests to me a dry UJ in 'old skool' not ever sure the Mig has a UJ, not had the opportunity to look as yet...... :-\ :-\ :-\

I'm pleased to say that the gearbox ECU change seems to have cured the gear change problems. :y

Well blow me down with a feather :o

In the spirit of learning/OOF, next time you pass this way, fancy putting original back in, and we'll reapply the firmware, and see if that cures it... ...wondering if it went on corrupt? Can't remember if we flashed it originally, or if it was already at latest when you bought it.

Been flashed several times, you even put 2.5 solftware, then reloaded the 2.6.

The only thing I can think of is the original wasn't seating properly?
