At 120k I had mine also replaced by Austen at Bell engineering last summer. Now after almost 2000 km everything runs smoothly. Replacement also got rid of a high pitch noise I got from front undehood and was thought to be caused by the lower engine mount. It just disappeared after the replacement and not sure if it was due to vibrations or the re fit of the shaft etc. Austen helped with all questions I had and managed shipment to Greece. |

Looks (or rather sounds) like my diff is also on its way out. Noise that sounds like a jet engine whirring up as the speed increases. Stops of I dip the clutch.

My one, 2008 HSE Auto, has had both rear wheel bearings replaced, the most recent was a couple of weeks ago.

I have a diff that's been rumbling for a while. Missed it at first due to a noisy wheel bearing. Cars done 60K. Checked the level last year @9yrs & topped up as it was lower than it should have been but not changed.

To be honest Paul this was a token gesture as the Diff rumble is annoying particularly at higher speeds. I'll probably have to get a reconditioned unit from Bell at some point. Just seeing how long I can make it last.

There's now a supplier of Dimple sump plugs in the UK so thought I'd give it a go.

I went to the North America Dimple website but was unable to locate the rounded version pictured a few posts up? I did find the flat model. On my list to acquire. |
