Finished fitting the three remaining shock absorbers. Just got the job done before the heavens opened. Had to do it outside because the garage is full of a stripped down Honda rotovator.

Still on the search to cure the intermittant noise from underneath. A bit like something stuck in a brake disk but not as squeally more grindy, road speed related, when it happens it will do it out of gear even.
Anyway, stripped the H'brake today, though I had already backed off the adjuster by a notch. I was hoping to find a busted return spring or something, what I did find was that the adjuster locating bolts were only just nipped up, all grease was dried and sticky. Everything removed, cleaned and regreased, adjusted and road tested and the fecking noise is still there. Very gently applied a bit of pressure on the h'brake while in motion, no difference to the noise.
Think I shall have to strip the brakes and see if I can find anything wrong.

Just a thought but could you get mrs frog hopper to drive you about a bit, you sit in the back etc - see if you can narrow down to front/back left/right if the noise is louder there ?

Unfortunately senior management does not drive vehicles.

There must be someone you trust ? (Not me if I were you
)I haven't found a thread with all the list but know you've redone most of it - you can't be far off now
Do classics have a DMF?

No DMF thank feck, but they do have a VCU which I found was seized while faffing about in the hunt. So replaced that, hopefully in the nick of time.There must be someone you trust ? (Not me if I were you

You said the vehicle was better for it, but not the grind? I've been watching as I'm trying to narrow same sort of thing on my P38. Currently been lying on my back greasing my nipples (zerx). I will spare you the shaft puns. Next step is Gbox/Tbox fluid change and more grease. Front breather pipe on diff needs attention, oil was old but in decent condition
