Your fleet running reports

[Beany]

So have you been climbing in & out of the window - that rather fortunately does work now ?

No, the drivers door is just fine

I did have to extricate last nights pizza and cheap wine through the passenger window though.

Can someone send me an idiot award

So I put the Mito back together (new bearing). Still makes the same noise

Thank you.
Looking at the parts diagram there is another hearing on the left of the car - it’s a support bearing for the right hand driveshaft so I’ll have a poke at that next.

If that doesn’t fix it I’m cutting it in half. Back half of the car will be a nice sofa and the front bonnet 1/3 will be a nice Smeg style fridge.

To be fair calling yourself an idiot is quite unfair, if I’d attempted that I’d be stuffed as I don’t have a welder. Cars are the same as fixing boilers, it’s not always the obvious part

Yes, it’s just the frustration of spending a few hours doing nothing constructive.
Also changing the ABS sensor - never seen a car throw so many error messages once I turned it back on and got quite worried as it took 3 attempts to clear all the various errors!

I saw that the noise was there and came to say check the driveshaft support bearing

I did the same on our focus as the driveshaft bearing bracket was bolted to the block and made no noise at all, till I removed it and then you could hear it.

Dave!
