John, Roadsters have a friction modifier in their diff oil to partly stop clunks in the LSD. I know I changed mine every 25k as the oil seemed to get tired. It could also be oil level I guess. I don't think the CX has an LSD but have no idea of the oil needed.
Maybe it is also the UJs?
Could well be the UJ's, Matt was very busy, so we didn't have too much time to investigate beyond the greasing of the splines, I'll get it checked out in October when the car is back in Malvern for a service.But certainly on my car it wasn't an issue with the wheel splines or adaptor plate. (so far anyway)
Interestingly, he had replaced a set of early CX brake calipers all round, as they were thought to be inefficient and struggling, with a later design set, just a slight difference in the hydraulic hose connection was necessary. Just over £1500 for the parts and then labour on top, apparently much better feel all round. I must admit I do find the current brake feel a little dead on the pedal, they bite ok but no real feel as to what is happening eg close to locking up. They certainly felt better after the brake fuild change in December, but don't inspire real confidence, they stop you, but thats about it. May need to start to save my pennies up.
