just been for a blast in the cossie and ive noticed when im in 4th gear doing about 70ish if i lift off the accelator and just coast for a bit theres a really bad vibration and loud noice cant hear the radio above it sounds like gearbox area to me as my gear stick was shaking all over aswel?

 

It could be prop shaft bearing???

 

havent a clue but if i put my fooot down its fine but when i lift off its unreal doesnt feel safe atall always one thing after another

 

There just old cars mate.You could do with getting it on the ramp and having a look.

 

aye theres a few bits need looking at like going to have to sort it out!

 

I had the same problem on the wife's saff it turned out to be the front drive shaft

 

Chunk her saff was stunning.

 

Not the silver one she has a Flint grey one now lol

 

so how do i check if its that ?

 

I put it on a 2 post ramp but you could jack it up and see if there is any play on the drive shaft or front prop I have got a drive shaft and a front prop if you need one

 

ok mate ill try check tommorow havent a clue what im doing like lol how much are they pal?

 

Just see what you need first and sort it from there am only in cramlington so pretty close all you need to do is push the drive shaft up and down and see if there is any play or noise do the same with the propshaft

 

ok mate cheers ill look tommorow

 

Mine sounds/is exactly the same and it is the prop donut split.

 

how would i check that mate i havent got a clue just the same way check for movement ect?

 

scotty didnt you post up a pic a while ago showing your front n/s drive shaft gaitor split,did you get that sorted?

 

hey chunk did you end up getting another cossie then?

 

nope mate i didnt its still knocking ect you think that could be the problem ?

 

wont help,just the first thing that sprung to mind when i read your post.

 

Need it on a ramp really mate and see if it's err split I guess lol. Spin the rear wheels to make the prop go round to check it throughout 360'. If yours is shaped like a 50p with 6 bolt holes I have a brand new one here you can have if its fooked

 

thanks mate ill try and sort it tommorow

 

The same thing happened on the wife's split boot then shaft wrecked lol yeah got another one thought we would grow up so got a 530d e60 nice car but missed not having a cossie after I sold the 3dr

 

whats your plans for it mate?are you going to the same extent of the 3dr?

 

dont know yet its been converted to 4x4 so going to put it back to 2wd i think it might get a stage 3 its already has a painted floor and stuff so thats all sorted
