I thought that but I didn't get one. Hasn't it got a tolerance of so many miles anyway

Have you bled the pump itself? You can do the from the port in the engine bay. I recently had these lights come on but it wasn't from bleeding. The solenoids in the back of the pump had some corrosion on. Took the back off the pump, cleaned off the corrosion with some fine sandpaper and away...

I have cleaned the pins on the back of the fuel gauge in the cluster and that has worked in the past. Can get a bit of corrosion in there If you need to get a new cluster, get one from a car with similar mileage. Should have no issues just being plug and play. No coding etc. I changed mine...

What are the wheels and tyres like if they're still available?

That's what's worrying me. There's no real information about them only YouTube videos and forums and they're all different. I could probably tackle it using common sense but the shims are really confusing. No idea which ones to buy. Might give it to someone who has more knowledge, problem is...

Will do. Might be a while I need to find a diff before I can drive it again.

Found one

Found one.

The shims I have don't seem to match what you can buy on original OEM either. Got a 1.94 and a 2.22mm no idea which new ones I need to buy none seem to be suitable. Bearings seem to be done too, looks like some grit has gone round them. The seals look old too so God knows what those idiots did...

Just DTI'd it and I have 0.135mm so that's out by either spec.

That's exactly what I'm thinking, I expect the shims are the wrong way around. It had no backlash before. Sent it for a rebuild and reseal whilst it was off the car. It was a nightmare, they had it for 6 weeks and they constantly mucked me about. Got the work done for free in the end. DMD...

From what I've seen around the net it is those shims on the side that alter the backlash. Though I'm finding conflicting amounts of permitted backlash. One place says 0.127mm and another says 0.06 to 0.1mm

That's useful info, cheers. You can get different thicknesses of the shims and some diffs that's how you change the backlash, that's why I thought it would be that. Is the pinion difficult to set?

Hi guys Had my differential rebuilt a couple of years ago whilst rebuilding most of the car but only got the car back on the road in may and it's apparent they did a bad job. I get a clunk from the diff when I change direction and from a spirited pull off from stationary. Seems there's quite...

This is the one I've just taken off and it appears to be the right one for the wheel. It appears that one of the connectors had become dislodged then was smashing itself on everything as it went around. The connector and the ribbon wire are a bit dog eared now so need replacing.
