This is a ten year old car, it was the original rear differential, if it was that bad from new, I think it would have either been rreplaced in-warranty for NVH or suffered a catastrophic failure at some point before now - but it does remind me of the (Nissan I think) engine plant that was the source of a recall on a lot of engines - several years worth of production, due to one of the engine assemblers being a bit OCD and perfectly aligning all the gaps in the piston rings.... because no-one had (apparently) told him otherwise.

Not to mention low resistance piston rings πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
 
Like my Dad used to let me have a go in his Fire Brigade van, great experience
I learned to drive at age fifteen taking my Dad's Series 1 Land Rover round our smallholding. Previously I had learned to ride a motorcycle on his D1 BSA Bantam. When the parents were out my mates & I used to take the BSA for a spin round local roads. I'm surprised none of the neighbours ever reported us to my parents as I was fourteen at the time.
 
My dad had a couple of bsa a10's
A road rocket and a lightning with a plunger frame with side car.
He couldn't go over 50mph with them as they vibrated themselves to bitsπŸ˜‚
We did a trip down to the Kent bike show and I had a go in the field on the bike when he'd built the engine into a custom frame.
What memories 😁

Priceless:vb-angel-fly:
 
Chap did say red carpets etc :rolleyes: :D
All bore does have that trim level. Think you've misunderstood Brian's post. My mate has one, looks like a tarts handbag inside, too garish for me. Outside looks nicer though with the colour coded bits. Low spec though. eg- one has to manually move ones seat, scrape ice of ones windscreen and sit ones posterior on cold seats as well as wash ones own headlamps ffs!:mad::banana:
 
Gave mine a quick wash, polish and Autoglym rapid ceramic spray, made it look tons better after it was covered in mud from clay shooting earlier in the week.

I got round being grassed by the neighbours by dressing up in my dad's bike gear including the ff helmet before going out the house.
He would go to work in his van and I'd go to school on his 76 RD250 age 13. Ridiculous how I never got caught. Been a good boy since 16 yrs old though.
 
I bought another one..
DSE Diesel this time.. Suspension bushes to change etc etc.. but.. quite happy with it to be honest and I've wanted a White Auto for a long long time...
What's going on with the sidestep? something looks weird.
