Rangie started vibrating on overrun and making random metallic noises from underneath yesterday. Just been underneath and found this on one of the ujs on the front prop. I assume this is the source of the problem....? Basically it looks like the cup seal has just rotted away and disintegrated.
The damn thing is only 18 months old.
I've still got the original front prop so I'm thinking of having a go at replacing the Ujs on that - never had much luck doing them before but Mad Hat Man's tutorial makes it look reasonably straightforward... (Famous last words...).
My biggest problem is getting the prop off - none of my sockets will work on the prop bolts. Anyone used those prop bolt tools on eBay? Are they worth bothering with?
Still not sure whether I'd better off getting a garage to do it as I need it done urgently. Grr.
