Finally got my 110 on the road - the father in law took it on as a bit of project now he's retired so did most of the hard work, I've just got to tart it up a bit now and fix little niggles, then prepare for stealth camping!

There is one issue that feels fairly major to me though - whenever I slow to a stop it feels like the back wheels are skipping slightly. It happens from about 10km/h down to 0, but never on the way back up. Anything obvious I should be checking?

It's a '96 110 300tdi

Stuck in diff lock?

Having managed 120 on the way to work this morning and taken a few roundabouts a little exuberantly I suspect it being stuck in diff lock would've caused a bit more of a pop-smash than a bump bump...

Ah, sorry I haven't got the LZ crystal ball atm.

Have you tried telling them to skip more thoroughly?

Based on blue's advice I checked the diff lock and all is fine - light comes on when it's locked and goes off after switching it back off.

Perhaps the best description of the noise is that it sounds like it's stalling, only from the back rather than the front... Which is, of course, rather odd as there's no engine there

Could be a wheel brake or hand brake binding some,check for excess heat after a drive.
