Hi people it's "daddy" here lol (well I brought the 4x4 to get Jody to hospital if it snowed, and it served its purpose!) now it's vibrating when I accelerate! (the car not Jody) stops vibrating when I take foot off gas! So I doubt it tyre related or bearings it doesnt do it all the time, just most of the time.......any ideas ?

Hope your all well, most all go out for an evening of mud and a beer

Guy can you hear a tweeting / chirping sound under load similar to a loose belt. had that on my 90 drove me nuts trying to find out what it was. was uj's in the end.
Had any sleep lately ? smell of puke yet ? got crap under your finger nails ?
Being a dad is not all its cracked up to be at 4 in the morning.

Congratualtions mate.

You symptoms were the same as mine, I had vibration at about 25-35mph then it seemed to go.

The last thing I though was wheel bearings as I checked them a couple of months ago and they seemed fine.

New bearings, £30 inc gaskets and new locknuts.

Leaving it to desroy itself £150 -£400 depending on if you do it yourself or leave it to a garage, although I do know how to do them.

No sleep, stink of puke, and poo everywhere! Will have a look underneath tomorrow see if there's any play in propshaft (there is a funny squeak coming from somewhere, but only when I'm driving) ...all signs are pointing to uj's (will need a grease gun won't I ). The last owner had done all the wheel bearings.

Anyway off to change a nappy

Brian S · Dec 6, 2010

Mine is back on the road with new front bearings and new rear shocks.

Would be good to give it a decent run.

I still have the vibration at about 30 mph so got to check the prop shafts next.

Big Stu 12 · Dec 7, 2010

I am up for a run out this week maybe next week as well.

cant tonight as I am picking up my new bumper.

Just got to get all the things done now , Lift blocks and bumper to be put on. plus new oils.......

Brian S · Dec 7, 2010

I will be glad to get mine all done. Getting the front UJ sorted at the moment.

That should sort the vibrations out.

Think the injectors next to get the engine smooth again.

I got to get under neath and undo me props and give the the UJ's a good greasing. I pump as much in as I can with them on.

Big Stu 12 · Dec 8, 2010

Guy brought a Grease gun and some Grease which is currently on my toolbox waiting to be used. On Thursday evening I think Guy is coming over and we are gonna have a go at greasing our nipples....

Free for laning this evening. Thats it for this week though due to work.

Brian S · Dec 8, 2010

I think I might be dragged out for a few hours, as long as you dont go the way you did the other night. I dont fancy any dents in the motor thanks.

Co-Pang-Yang · Dec 8, 2010

Ha Ha, where is there you'd like to go?

Co-Pang-Yang · Dec 8, 2010

Just remembered i'm going to the pub to see my mate who is leaving for NZ tomorrow.
Still be about to go laning though as i'll be in Coggashall.

Brian S · Dec 8, 2010

What time Chris? And would be nice to meet in the pub for a warming shandy by the fire before we set off.

Co-Pang-Yang · Dec 8, 2010

Trying to remember what the name of the pub is.

Brian S · Dec 8, 2010
