Nice... if I can get a drill in there first. Wonder what they're called in Spanish??!!

Ironic as I have done that a million times and for whatever reason had a brain fart. They felt ok... but clearly not. No fun to drill it out as you need the box out of the way :-( Damn damn damn :-( I feel some improvisation coming.....

Absolutely :-)

Centre exhaust mount bolt sheared. Damn damn damn. Having just finished my exploits with an engine mount, whilst hunting for the issue I had noticed that the centre exhaust block was pretty knackered (the square one that supports the centre box and bolts to the chassis) and I decided to change...

Well that fixed it. What a nightmare of a job though. Quite a bit easier with two people, though still very fiddly. Whoever built their production line should be taken about and shot........ must have been SO easy to get to it without the body on..... We undid the engine mounting bracket and...

Ahhhh... So I was looking in the front of the truck considering my first move with the 41mm socket I now have which fits, and noticed a bit of rubber wedged down on the front engine guard. Hmmm. Odd. Then I went under the truck looking at locking up the propshaft. A tyre lever is quite a good...

Class thanks !!

Nice tip... thanks ! Just need to find the right bloody socket size :banghead:

Damn - it isn't 40mm is it? Any idea what size socket is required for the bolt?

Damn... at a guess that's a 40mm socket required? Biggest I have is 36mm. Bugger. Easy to get too though. Just one socket short of a full picnic!!

Cool. Except it is 2020 and everything has turned to crap so far. I'm sure this won't be an exception :-)

Class tips.... thanks. Seems OK for access to the bolt, but wondering if there is enough if a puller is required? Another part link: https://www.onlinecarparts.co.uk/febest-11776617.html

Having had a quick read about such things, I'd say that it would appear that this is a failure of the crankshaft pulley / harmonic balancer. As I said it feels like the crank/flywheel has lost a balance weight so a pretty accurate description I think :-) I had no idea about harmonic balancers...

Any pointers how to look/check? Pics etc? The pulley sounds likely. I think if it was crank/flywheel I'd notice more.

LOL... yup!!! Leave it with me. I can stick it on a youtoob thingy (I do IT for a living!!) I'll try & do it tomorrow.

Hi and thanks for replying. Manual. As far as I can see it isn't touching anywhere... I did have a reasonable look at that. That's when I started to become puzzled!!

Hi All. 2020 and it has turned to rat sh*t already :-) My wife being super at diagnostics reported a 'bit of a vibration' a few days ago. Always the mistress of the understatement..... I suspected at first from her description it might be the rear half shaft bearing which was replaced a few...

Class. Sorry - been out and about this week. Drop me a PM....

Oh cool ! Left rear (passenger side) Pic of mine attached B. Rgds John

Looking at replacing a failed one on my trusty 1995 Terrano as I've run out of bits to rebuild it :-) I can see plenty for the later face lift Terranos but although most of the guts look the same, they look a little different with the mount being on the cable winder assembly instead of attached...
