Have seen this twice, if driveshaft wasn't pushed back into diff properly or the spring clip has broke the drive shaft can pop out. The last 2mm stays engaged for about 100miles then it shears off.

Bell Enginerring supply fully reconditioned haldex units for less than that. You have to be careful just banging a new pump in, pump failure is a symptom not the actual failure mode. Have seen cars that have had 2 pumpms in 6 months as route cause not fixed. If the specialist didn't understand...

to do the transfer box you will need a press, a special tool to remove the bearing outer, a special tool fro removing the pinion nut, a very large bearing separator and obviously the rebuild kit inc all new seals. Not really financially viable if you have to buy it all to do a single unit.

Front transfer box pinion bearings are starting to fail now, keep an ear on the noise as if it is that it will get worse until it then starts to chew up the crown wheel and pinion

Hi give me a call, see if i can diagnose for you.

No offence taken ;), and i do appreciate the many positive comments we get on this forum. We try to promote ourselves by a offering good, honest service and good quality products, something i hope all of our customers feel they receive. I have modified the description on the website now to try...

Ok i will reply to this, even though I have stopped posting on here as things always end up degrading into silliness as a few individuals like to try and instigate trouble and do seem to like to try and drag the name of respectable companies though the mud for their own amusement. This started...

i have sent you a private message

id be wary driving it that far home, the juddering is the haldex locking up the transmission , hence why you only feel it on turns (axle speed differences). I would suggest you either unplug the Haldex unit (under the car you will see 2 plugs going into the Haldex units ECU, uplug the larger of...

To check the diff for noise, get some one to drive while you sit in the centre of the back seat, when up to speed stick you head into the boot area, its pretty obvious when the noise is coming from the centre of the boot and gets amplified in the boot space. The problem with these diffs is the...

Lol!!!

Opinions are fine but completely untrue facts are not, so expect to get replies correcting you. For the record I do the fittings at my house which is 7 mins away not 20 miles and if work allows I will do it anytime of any day. Going by your use name I assume you are a superhero so could you...

as stated above by another post our website states exactly our services, if you want a cooked steak would you go to a butchers??? and also where does it state we replace the vcu, support bearings, diff mount and fit for £300???

bell engineering is our small family business. The fitting service is done myself at home, rather than in the workshop which is at my fathers house. i do it on evenings and weekends so as not to tie up the main business which is reconditioning the items and for most people this is more...

I've posted a video bench test, the best way IMO to test. I don't agree with the wheel up test as there are too many variables/masking effects so not interested in it. End of, not posting any more as it always degrades into this kind of thing

Posting on here reminds me of a dream i once had. 4 new people all started work, as i'd been there for years they asked me the best way to commute to our place of work, i said i had tried many different ways but in my experience the best way was to get the train from station X to station Y. One...

The amount of fluid isnt guessed, it was calculated by building test units. All VCU's are the same bar the damper

It'd probably down to worn uj's and disturbing them, the vcu slips 1 revolution every second at 60mph do matching the front to rear disappears within a few yards of driving it.

The white lines on the vcu and prop don't do anything as the vcu slips the front and rear relationships change.

90degs ish is fine as the rubber takes up any slight misalignment. Remember the engine and ird are constantly moving in relationship to the fixed vcu. All prop UJ'S (all cars not just freelanders) have to be run a slight angle otherwise you can get concentric vibration, as a rule of thumb they...
