Speedy_Gonzales Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 My TD5 110 is making a god awful noise at the 65mph mark (in top gear). Starts off like a rumble but then resonates through the whole vehicle. Im running BFG Muds but they were never this bad, and the noise is evident when revving up and down through the 65/66mph mark. Anything above or belwo this speed seesm to be fine, no issues! Is this a wheelbearing or possible a gearbox issue? Thanks in advance for your input Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy_Gonzales Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 This happened to my Td5 90 turned out to be my propshafts Just replaced the rear prop as the UJ seat had 'ovalled', somthing I had been planning on doing for a while, not roadtested it on a run yet but will check this out and post back with feedback.

Speedy_Gonzales Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Did a roadtest today, rumble is certainly not as bad as before but still evident at the 65 mph mark. Could this be a front prop issue? What do I need to do to check out other issues, i.e. wheel bearings and/or gearbox? Ta Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do I need to do to check out other issues, i.e. wheel bearings and/or gearbox? Ta Jamie If the back one needed changing, next suspect has to be the front one, I think! Wheel bearings - jack up the relevant corner, grasp the wheel at 3 and 9 o'clock and give it a "wiggle", and the same at 12 and 6 o'clock. Any little clunky noises or movement (other than the front wheels moving on the steering) is bad. If you're lucky they will just need tightening up, but I'd consider investing in a half set of spares, as they are a relatively common failure . Gearbox is harder to diagnose: do the cheap things (front prop, wheel bearings) first and then if that doesn't help shout up and a gearbox adult will no doubt provide some further advice p.s. which bit of North West England?
