Aero 8 driveline shunt

[V1DL3R]

During my reading driveline shunt in early Aero 8's seems common. During my search I've been taken in one vehicle which hardly had any shunt, but then again the driver/owner has owned it for a long time and had learned to drive it (he was apprehensive about me driving it). The second, the owner was happy for me to drive and me not being used to driving it, I experienced some shunt at the start but after a few minutes or so I got much smoother and the car warmed up :-). My question is, on the second car I heard a rattle with the shunt and maybe a bit of a rattle when I was going down the gravel drive with the clutch in. This sounded a little like clutch rattle but I'm not sure. Is this characteristic of the car? Does anyone else get a rattle with the shunt?

Thanks in advance

Thanks, Nick. I will probably go back and inspect this a little more. I couldn't get it to do it when I wanted to hear it haha.

I have been reading your comments on talkmorgan during my search - very helpful. Just waiting for my approval to the forum :-)

No problem, if you have anymore questions feel free to message me (here or there!)

Thanks Nick, I also couldn't seem to get the tyre monitoring screen to work. Is there a secret to it?

The secret to the tyre monitoring system is to disable it - everyone does in the end.

Re the 'shunt', I don't really get any but also do get some noise (the odd subtle clunk) in reverse, but not a rattle. This is, I am assured, entirely normal

Thanks!

Seen two more vehicles since the post and they all had the same sort of noise so I'm happy.

Deposit has been paid, Hoping to join the club in a week or two :-)

Still waiting for my acceptance into the talkmorgan forums, i'm hoping there is a bit more info in there!

There's no driveline shunt in my 2 year old Aero.... worth getting it checked out if it's bad I should think.

There won't be, the driveline configuration on the series 1-3 are different :-)
