hi again all, in response to rustics post & the way he drives his t2, on our street at the moment is deep soft snow 6" approx, if i had to use this in the same way something would literally explode (diff or transfer box, whatever is at fault) there is no way on earth i could drive this at 30mph...

i'm just gonna persevere with it now as i don't know what to do next, i could really do with somebody a little more clued up than myself having a drive in it. It is getting on a bit now but is still pretty tidy for it's year, i don't really want to start throwing money at it especially as i...

yep, both front tyres are fine , so are the pressures, it's definately a bearing somewhere that's causing the rumbling/vibration but where i don't know. it's doing my head in now :confused:

been at it again today, i've had the hubs off, cleaned & regreased them, removed front prop, no worn or tight joints on that, cv joints on driveshafts all ok nothing seized on them, front diff turns easily by hand with prop removed, locks the hubs in etc. as it should, changed the front diff oil...

hi again, yes all tyres are 225/75/15, thanks

it's not been changed in the 2 and half years we've had it :lol

Let's hope so karl, i certainly don't want to be removing the gearbox ... it looks a b*****d of a job! although a clutch would'nt go amiss. fingers crossed it's the front diff, dave,

right, here we go again, in normal 2wd it drives perfect! so that's the rear diff eliminated (or at least i hope it is), next .... in 2wd but with the front hubs engaged the problem is there! in full 4wd still same. as i tried to explain in an earlier post .... when on the ramp with all 4 wheels...

hi bryn, it can't be a diff ratio problem or it would have been like it last year & the year before that etc. i tried it first thing this morning in the snow and surprisingly it seemed ok, an hour ago my son used it to go to the shop and it was acting up again, i seem to think it may be due to...

nope, everything on the car is the same as it was last year,. Only new brakes / ball joints. Its got us stumped too. :doh just a quick question, is there a special way to align / put the hubs on?

karl, when it is on the ramp with the wheels hanging i can engage 4wd, turn the front prop by hand, this in turn then turns the front diff & driveshafts, the auto hubs lock in & all appears normal, it's certainly a head scratcher this thing! i can start the engine, put it in gear, release the...

thanks karl, will find out this weekend when i remove the front prop, it's definately not in 4L, what's the cure if it is tranfer box wind up? replacement box?? Dave.

ok thanks, i'll take the hubs off first & see what happens, if it's still same i'll remove the front prop at the weekend and see what happens then. will keep you all posted, cheers!

Hi again all, thanks for all your replies, had the car on a 2 post ramp today with all 4 wheels hanging, engaged 4wd and turned the rear wheels, the front hubs engaged & all 4 wheels then began to turn .... BUT!! ... the more i turn the rear wheels the tighter they become, hence the reason it...

coming down like 50p pieces here at the moment, no work tomorrow hopefully :thumb2

hi again, the tyres are bridgestone duallers 225/75/15, the same ones as what was on last year, there is no evidence of abnormal wear on the shoulders etc. also the rear diff oil is same as last year, checked the level last week & it is ok. all that has been done on the front end this year is...

it's certainly not normal, if anyone is in the yorkshire area brave enough to have a go in it please let me know ... it's evil ... :D

i have a fairly steep drive up to my house & i used 4h to try and get up in soft snow but it was pulling me towards the fence, something is definately wrong somewhere, its as if the front wheels are fighting with the rears, also if i try to turn right or left it feels to literally jump across...

4H mate :thumbs it may sound stupid but it feels like everything is out of sync, as if the front wheels is fighting against the rears,

was in snow earlier today, first time i've tried it this year, was fine last year, it's totally uncontrollable, something is definately wrong somewhere, :nenau
