Hello all, I have just recently purchased "Little Nelly" the sport grey car from Tony. It's a wonderful car, and I am still getting used to the attention. I have been driving for around 200 miles so far and just about getting used to her, starting to relax into the seat, road positioning etc. The only thing I am not taking a liking to is the bevel box backlash, and clunking.
Obviously its fine under load, but "clonks, and rattles" at light load, or next to none.
There is some noise, but not something that detracts from the whole ambience of this crazy little tub of fun.
It looks a fairly straightforward item to replace, I have already adjusted the belt tension as it was occasioning touching the lover chassis rail, so I guess its just some 13mm spanner and sockets, and out it comes.
3. If the service idea is a non starter, where's the best place to purchase one, and likely cost.
4. Where do all the old units go, that have been swapped out. I wouldn't mind pulling one apart to see what the issues are, or even refurbishing one, with some of my local engineering shops that I get along with?
