Strange Noise from Underneath

[Steve_gts]

Thanks, I'll contact TonyN then.

Would you believe it though, I was in Basingstoke when it started again, limped the 40+ miles back, now I'll have to take it all the way back there again!

Hello.

[Steve_gts]

Hi TonyN,

I was just trying to work out how to PM you, I don't think I have enough posts yet or something. Can you have a look at this, and more importantly is it likely to be fixable for less than the truck is worth?

[TonyN]

Call me later, http://www.4x4toys.co.uk/feedback.html

Hard to tell without looking at it, the bushes are a good bet though. If you want to mess about with it, remove the drive plates (the round disc in the middle of the hub that connects the driveshaft to the hub) and take it for a spin, this will stop the driveshafts and front diff turning and the noise should go away, proving its related to these bits.

Maybe have time next week to look at it, little backed up ATM, but definatly week after.

Hi TonyN,

I'm pretty sure that's what the garage did already, I know they spoke about removing the drive to the front wheels. I'll double check and give you a call later.

Cheers,
Steve

TonyN, you can call me to discuss my commission...
Of course, if you don't want/need all these recommendations, I am sure that for a suitable sum I can be persuaded not to make them...

[Steve_gts]

But only after he's fixed mine, or he may have to put the price up to compensate!

I file all bills very carefully in the circular cabinet in the corner. Usually another one comes along soon enough.
Talking of which have you worked out the next one yet? The usual one MEEELLION dollars I presume?

[TonyN]

LOL, no idea, I didn't save Lexurf one, only the UN trucks invoice.

Guess that makes you Mr Lucky.

[flounderbout]

Didn't save it? You haven't made one yet!
You need to add up some hours and let me know the balance I owe you.

[TonyN]

I did!! I left it in Lexurf, when I dropped truck off, same as I left the White Rhinos one in it when swapping trucks.

I'll make something up....

Less the cost of five gallons of unleaded?

You're joking, it was empty when I collected it, and he filled with a Jerry Can to make sure I had just enough to get back home....

I put the rest in while on various 'test drives'......

Good point. And about three hundred quids worth of detailing products...
