Check the rear driveshafts/CV’s…? Can you replicate it if jacked up and spinning the wheel…?

You’ve checked there is nothing stuck in the tyre…? Edit; how certain are you that it is that wheel? Noises from underneath can be misleading as to which corner there are coming from (if indeed a corner at all… prop?)

Assuming all model years are the same (I believe they are), the rear driveshaft nuts on an F2 are 395Nm, or 291 lbf-ft. And you should use a new nut 😉 You still need a big torque wrench.

The vac bags are a good call - we have them somewhere (never used 🙄). I think the OP is doing a ‘round trip’, as opposed to one way, but those seats are a pain to ‘store’!

…take them out and see if it suits your need - it’s a quick job, literally would take you 10 mins. The footwell space might be good for you for your trip, especially if you have soft stuff that can use that space, then load flat across the top of everything.

That’s so obvious. Everyone knew that. It’s true. These things have been around for years.

€1000 🤣 How many is that for - 5?

I took the rear seats out of my old F1 for a bit, thinking it would give the dog (and me) a lot more space. In reality, it’s a right pain, as @Arctic2 says, you just gain the footwells, but of course it creates a big ‘gap’ between the bed of the rear and the front seats. I soon put them back in.

Oh dear - see, the thing is, you have to concentrate when ignoring

Jealousy will get you nowhere… 😁

Lift the trim around the gearstick and take a peek - I’d be double-checking before pushing a drill through! Takes 2 minutes.

:ttiwwp: 😁

I think you have completely missed @meego ’s (very valid) point! He wasn’t having a pop at your motor…

I’ve been very busy all week ignoring this

Why hide the number plate if you are trying to sell it? By showing it, potential buyers could check the history… Just saying 👍
