Discussion
hello ,im new on here so greetings to you all.im on the mission impossible of finding a monaro in a1 nick as poss but having looked at yet another dingo yesterday with under 2000miles on the clock im wondering if i should give up and wait till the right one comes along.

ps does anyone have any good feedback on this one?

There's one along the road from me, 56 plate, black, which never ever goes anywhere. He's got something else which must be his daily drive, Omega I think, but the Monaro is ALWAYS on the drive, blocked in by the Omega, and just never ever seems to go out. Must have less than 2k miles on it! Don;t know that it's for sale though.

the one i looked at yesterday had a clunking driveshaft on setting off and worn rear tyres,apparently was ex vauxhall roadshow car which is not something to be proud of!
Is that one advertised on here ?? You couldn't point me in its direction so I can aviod it could you ??!! I'm after a Monaro as well but they all seem to be a gazillion miles away from me when they come up for sale.the one i looked at yesterday had a clunking driveshaft on setting off and worn rear tyres,apparently was ex vauxhall roadshow car which is not something to be proud of!

Are you sure it was'nt just the infamous drive train clunking it does make quit a bit of noise even on the best of cars, a diff oil change can quieten it down a bit but can still be clonky at slow speeds like motorway jam crawling speeds

im no expert on these so you could be right, at first when i drove it it did it and i thought there was something a miss,but when wife drove it also it did the same ,but was at low speed from standing start.but was quite noticable clank with a bit of a ring to it so does sound like diff.
car was in stokesley,still tyres shouldnt be worn out so can still presume its had a hard life so far!

The (LSD) diffs do clunk. It's something you have to get used to, but try another just in case. BTW Most of the Munro's owned on here are nothing short of immaculate, see the piccies.the one i looked at yesterday had a clunking driveshaft on setting off and worn rear tyres,apparently was ex vauxhall roadshow car which is not something to be proud of!

Thats exactly what i thought. I've never seen one anything other than perfect. They are always very well looked after

The silver one at stokesley has been in stock for over a year, it might actually be longer. Was half tempted a while back to go and look at it glad I didnt now!
Why glad? If its due to the clunking noise from the drive train, if yours doesnt do it, the diff isnt working
just getting my own back

I've seen that one! Quite a steep driveway isn't it? Again, never seen it move.Gassing Station | HSV & Monaro | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
