Graham Perry Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 PAM, Welcome. Blatchat is a great resource for tech info on the Seven. If you use the search function (top of page) you will find in the archive loads of discussion on this. Basically they do make a bit of noise in a Seven and you will soon get used to it. A little bit of backlash is not unusual either. Edited by - Graham Perry on 22 Nov 2010 22:02:31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Just a thought .... have you checked the oil level in the diff, and greased the universal joint at each end of the prop shaft ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punch Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Thanks for replies, had not found search button, now nearly to much information, i shall do the std checks on oils and grease, get some ear plugs and enjoy. Have had the seven for 5 weeks and can still think of nothing else,and cant stop smiling,Sevens should be given on the National Health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
