Robster Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Car is live axle..freshly rebuilt quaiffe ATB with a good 2nd hand CWP. Silverstone last night, the diff has been run gently for 450 miles. The track was very hot, lots of grip and coming out of a long sweeping bend on the power, my until now silent diff starts the familliar ('they all do that') whine which stayed from then on! Have I cooked a bearing? The diff is baffled to try to prevent oil surge. Any suggestions appreciated. Robster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjwb Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Questions: 1) Does it whine on, drive, over-run or drift? 2) In neutral (drift to a halt) is the whine there right until the point of stopping? Yes to any in 1 - it's the gear set. Yes to 2 - it's invariably the pinion bearings, usually the nose. Answers please on a ..................

Robster Posted July 18, 2002 Author Share Posted July 18, 2002 Andy Yes, you did meet me (and my girlfriend) admiring your car. It looks fantastic, sounds great and is my dream spec/colour etc!!!! You still seemed to get a bit of track time despite the noise thing strapped to the silencer. Cheers! Robin R7RDC, Green and Yellow Xflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangers quotNquot Mas1697456953 Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Managed about six or seven laps before the car died!!!! Nothing serious, just a chaffed fuel pump lead. (Fuses kept blowing) It was a good evening though! Hope the Diff problem isn't too bad. Mine's noisy but you can't hear it above the row the exhaust makes smile.gif Andy Marks vhpd7@btclick.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
