Re: Help with rear end noise
Hi Dave, Your noise kicks in at the same speed but sounds like it is the other way around? Mine is noisy under throttle but goes if there is no throttle. I agree that changing the quill shaft bearing is the next step as I already have one ready to go in and it can't hurt. Might take me a week or so ...

Re: Help with rear end noise
Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply. Diff had a bit of a drip from the front so I put a new seal in. Also put in exchange output shafts from a Stag specialist (as I don't have a press to to push out the stubs to change the seal) which annoyingly seem to seep a bit. Breather is clear. I also took the back ...

Help with rear end noise
Hi all, Haven't been on here for a while. I am after some opinions on some rear end noise I am getting. Once I get above about 65 I start to get a drone from the back end, which gets louder the faster I go but disapears if I take my foot off the throttle. Rear seems fairly quite below these speeds, ...

Re: Steering column upper bearing - replace in situ?
Hi Alan, You were totaly right of course but I didn't see your reply until after I had removed the column and bought a NOS one from CW. On the bench I managed to get the old one right again but the reason I thought the old bearing had disintegrated was that I can see bits of swarf around it - it has...

Steering column upper bearing - replace in situ?
Hi all, In driving over the ploughed field that was the car park for the Kop Hill hill climb last weekend I noticed a great deal of shuddering in the steering wheel of my PFL Mk2. Last night I tracked this down to the upper column bearing having disintegrated. It looks like it can be replaced in sit...

Re: Film Stars & Celebrity Cars
I realise this is an old topic but I found it when looking for something else. The original 2000 mentioned in this thread (RGB 149K) was in both Tinker, Tailor.... and the Bank Job. Just before I bought my current 2000 it was for sale fairly localy to me so I went to view it. It belonged to a guy wh...

Re: Timing engine.
Hi all, I was told by an ex Lucas guy that the letter at the end of the part number was a revision number to indicate later (and possibly modified) production so a B is later production than an A etc but the spec remained the same and as long as the part number was correct they would all be intercha...

Re: Timing engine.
Hi Pete, The cars fitted with Stromberg CDSE emission control carbs like mine have a specified idle speed of 850rpm (unlike earlier cars) and it is hard to get a regular reliable idle of much below that on my car so the mechanical advance may well be just kicking in. I have three of the correct numb...
