ok thanks Pete
-
theres definitely no wining just a slight rumbling if you release the throttle, the car did surprise me how quiet it is on the test run before i bought it, thanks for your help but il just fit the recon diff i have and keep it as a spare for reconditioning' 🙂
-
thanks GT6 M is the procedure you have just described to determine weather the crown wheel is deteriorating. i was just hoping i would have to replace some more bearings
-
hi all the diff in my mk2 2500 makes a bit of noise not to loud but only when letting my foot of the throttle, its nice and quiet otherwise, ive taken it out a few weeks back and replaced the the quill shaft bearing and oil seal, no doubt itl only get worse, what needs replacing to cure this noise any ideas? i do have a recon 3.45 diff ready to fit but would like to fix this my self if possible
-
would a bonnet stay on either side of the bonnet help relieve the stess on the mounting points, i know the mercedes cosworth has two bonnet stays compaired to the one stay on the standard 190e models
-
Jonny-jimbo i recently replaced a pinion bearing and oil seal in my mk2 2500 for the first time took just over an hour once the diff is out, you will need to remove the nut numbered 510618A to drift the bearing out, to undo that nut you will need to put two of the propshaft bolts and nuts back into the flange with a strong ish bar through those bolts to hold against, while you undo that nut with a breaker bar 🙂

said that wrong. its had patches welded at the front of both rear inner arches and needs welding to the rear of both front inner arches
-
Nick inner and outer sills need replacing, ive cut out half the drivers side floor pan and replaced it plus a new outrigger, the passenger side front floor pan needs replacing plus outrigger, its had patchs welded on the front inner wheel arches both sides, needs welding on the rear of the front inner wheel arches both sides, the top rear sping mounts dont look like they have long left before they rot through, the whole of the under side has been heavily coated with under seal even the brake pipes the underseal has let water and moisture through over the years as i found out on its first mot test with me the rear brake pipe that runs over the diff blew out while the car was on the brake testing machine had to drive it 12 miles home on the hand brake scary ive spent alot on this car recon overdrive box, recon diff, electric cooling fans, uprated alternator and starter motor,mk1 trailing arms, mk1 drive shafts hubs, tr6 steel wheels chris whitor lower uprated rear springs, aftermarket heater unit plus fan plus more, im not spending any more on a car thats slowly rotting away,going to save the front wings and rear arches and transfer every thing else onto the mk2 ex pi i bought a couple off months back this ones solid in the right places
-
I want to remove the front wings from my mk2 2500 there in pretty good nick, i have got 115mm and 125mm grinders with cutting discs, also 240v nibblers 240v drills,i dont mind damaging the surrounding panels just want to get the wings off so they can be reused, any one done this before any advice appreciated thanks

if your going to fit a revotec fan controller into your radiator make sure its fitted in a convenient place to access it,there is a very small flat head screw in it to adjust to fan cutting in and out
-
have a look round your local breakers yards ive used a mercedes 12v electric fan with a Revotec 3/8 bsp electronic fan controller youl need to braze a 3/8 bsp female adaptor into your radiator to screw the fan controller into, the Revotec controller kit part no EFC 3/8 ext comes with instructions, relay,and cable. have a look at the Revotec web site 🙂
-
that does look a great job so what ratios are available on the r160 from the datsun 18o B
-
hi what model car does a R200 nissan diff come from and do any of you guys no the ratio options of these diffs thanks
-
hi ive fitted a facet posi flow 1.5 to 4psi model no 60104 in the boot of my mk2 2500 £30 ebay, admittedly i havnt driven it on the road yet as ive got more work to do. but it primes instantly no noise but you must use anti vibe mounts and fit it near the fuel tank, il see how it goes when the cars on the road
-

-

GT6 M. when i get round to doing the drain plug i was going to use a 3/8 bsp tap cause i have one plus i can get almost any bsp fitting from work, do you no how long that diff in the bottom picture had been run before draining the oil? do you recondition diffs your self?
-
thanks guys, i cut the end off a normal drain plug spanner and welded it to a 22mm socket so i can use use a ratchet on both the gearbox and diff plugs
-
thanks for the info john and pinman, didnt realise cast iron would be easy to machine,i was intending to drill from under the car with the diff fitted, i can see a flat part on the diff nearer the alloy mounting plate. i have a spare diff and was intending on trying to measure the thickness of the of the flat part with a pair of calipers, if i can get a measurement il report back 🙂
-
i want to drain the oil from my rear diff, i do have a 12v pump which was made for draining in board boat engines where theres no access to a sump drain, but id like to fit a 3/8 bsp plug in the underside of the diff casing, can the cast casing be drilled? ive never drilled a hole in cast iron before also what size hole should i drill for a 3/8 bsp taper tap?
-
