PLANK I just love it!!!!!!!!!! CL

She must have been referring to being on a wooden square rigged sailing ship at night! Eric Sykes RIP CL

Many thanks PLANK, I'll post again when it's fitted to update anyone interested. Rgds CL.

Rear axle update Local Nissan main dealer wants €2000 (£1640) just for the parts to repair/rebuild my rear axle PLUS labour at €63 (£51) per hour! I politely declined their offer. Equicar, at Coseley, Wolverhampton, have one that they claim is compatible for £400 plus UK delivery and VAT. So...

I've seen a video (not sure where or when) of replacing a windscreen. With the rubber seating surround, already in place in the window housing, the glass groove was lubricated with something slippery, maybe Vaseline, string was inserted in the groove, the replacement glass was held in place...

Thanks glanrich. As I've discovered in my recent research, there are many ratio variants, even amongst the same models, depending on year of manufacture! I believe the acid test is to do as recommended in earlier posts on the subject, i.e. jack up the rear axle and turn the wheels one revolution...

Thanks again guys for all your input. Cnfabs/Stinka thanks for he reassurance about fitting. Rick I'm with you, as I rarely use 4WD and then only in the slippery stuff. BUT if I can get a rear axle with the matching ratio and thereby save the cost and hassle of buying and fitting both rear AND...

I hear what you say guys but the correct ratio LSD rear axle for a 3ltr is a rare item. I've done the phone tour of the length and breadth of the UK and only found one! I found heaps of cheaper wrong ratio 2.7 axles but the average price is around 400 for a 3ltr LSD back axle - if you can find...

We're getting there! Many thanks to all who have replied. Stinka I read all your threads and thanks they were useful Cnfabs Thanks for your reply, yes I do have ABS but see updates below. PLANK your message came through and I've contacted them, they have the rear and are going to check if it...

HELP! Just spent the whole day phoning all Nissan breakers on ebay, not one has a 3ltr with a rear axle! Things are looking desperate! Anyone know a breaker with a 2002-2006 3ltr T2 for parts?

Hi PLANK and thanks, PM'd tonight. WildBri - Hi to you and D hope all is well in your world. Rgds CL

Thanks Stinka I've read some of your threads and found them useful AND frightening! CNFABS - thanks for the advice, don't suppose you have any rear axles in stock? Rgds CL

It's looking like I'll be needing a replacement rear axle for my 2003 3ltr LWB T2. My current rear axle is the LSD model with the back plate. Are the ratios of the diffs different for different models? Are the back axles for LWB and SWB models interchangeable? For example can I use an axle...

Thanks Briggie. Good idea PLANK. I might as well take the back plate off when I drain the axle - not sure what to look for but I can run it for a short time while the innards are exposed to try to locate the noise source. Going to try to find LSD oil and some gasket sealant here in darkest...

Hi PLANK. We are on the same wavelength, that is exactly what I was thinking. For the cost of a few litres of LSD it may prolong it's life a little and it can't hurt. Re Molyslip - I'm not sure I want to go to that additional expense as I think the final drive is an (inevitable) terminal case...

Update on diff noise Had the rear axle on stands today and ran the engine in forward gear, using a 'listening stick' (wooden rod to my ear) I found that the outer wheel bearings were not the problem, nor was it at the aft end of the gearbox/transfer box, it is definitely coming from the diff...

Thanks guys - will do as you have suggested. Rgds CL

Thanks Stinka & Supernome The Canada Molyslip site suggests ATS, I was wondering if anyone had tried it? Re wheel bearing wear, my previous experience is that a wheel bearing noise is more of a rumble than a whine. This sounds like a gear enmeshing noise rather than a bearing rumble but I'll...

Maybe its because I'm driving with the window open now that its warmer that I can hear the transmission noise but I'm sensing that the rear diff has started to whine. Its not a serious sounding noise and maybe it was always there but I wonder if adding Molyslip might help. My 3ltr '03 T2 has the...

Edgerton many thanks for the very full, useful and informative reply. I now know a little more than 'naff all' (dangerous!) but at least I can make a better decision than by just reading the advertising blurbs. Rgds CL
