clunk , clunk, clunk - hmmmm

[bigdods]

This is the noise that I got from the back end when I gently reversed down the drive today with the engine off. It may do it all the time but with that V8 burble it cant be heard. Any ideas ? Diff problem perhaps ? Going to do an engine off roll down a gentle hill at the weekend going forwards to see if it does the same.

The clunk, clunk, clunk's not a problem but the hmmmm - now that's unusual.

[bigdods]

ah now you see the clunking is the car the hmmmm is the noise I made when I heard it. clunk clunk clunk hmmmmmm I felt I needed to included that to provide the full picture. hmmmmm is one of my thoughtful (but not yet worried) noises, if I was really worried it would have been bugger or oh sh*t :-)

Its easier to tell where the noise is when your head is under the car.

Drive shaft UJ ?

[bigdods]

On further investigation I only get the noise when going backwards. Going forwards its as quiet as a church mouse. Another one for the list to be looked at come next service.

Cv joint possibly,they usually make noise in one direction only when fitted to RWD carsor as Barreti says check prop UJ,s.

well whatever it is its only when going backwards and I dont plan on doing too much of that. Not after the last time when I ended up in that hedge....
