Sounds like a bodge to try and loosen off the VCU
Particularly as it ain't grease.
Sounds like a bodge to try and loosen off the VCU
Results of static test, engine end held in vice, rear output end with 36" bar, 5l oil bottle full of water wire tied to end of bar, ie 5kg mass.
Timed result thru 90 deg, starting at 45 deg from verticle, in normal direction of drive.
Recon vcu 17 seconds to describe 90 deg arc.
Original vcu, did not move, Fail. Repeat with 10kg load, did not move, Fail.
Apply large HGV fitter to bar, vcu did move, but the bench moved more, FAIL!
Will do test on the hub nut once fitted to give a base line measurement that anyone can try without removing vcu. Also will be able to see if my new one goes off with time or miles. Every 6000 miles say?
10 year old prop and only 30k miles (founder of mondo mode )
weren't Mondo the "founder" of mondo mode ?

it was Mad Hat Man who coined the phrase, the irony being Mondo never removed his prop........only ran it in VCU slip mode.
His account has been deleted but I remember the thread, it was a 3dr metallic grey one which was on the back of a recovery truck, thats when his transmission problems had started, he was so embarrassed he tried to say his father owned the FL.... yeah right lol
I have been going 2wd since 2001, if anything it is more apt to call it mondeo mode but mondo mode has stuck

These are VCU tests only - any chance someone can try to do the rear wheel torque test as well, to see if there is any correlation?
Is this layout ok? any other fields/comments? whether VCU or wheel test?
I think it was Mondos - rumour has it that he sold it to his dad after finding the 100% slipping VCU .
int that a bit like claiming to be the 7th Beatle ?
so was lr1796 rip .
