I've checked that already Daleo and nothing there. However your spot on about the sound, it sounds just like that!

Hi. I'm OzyNick and new to this forum. We have a 1990 (ish) Skyline Automatic. It's always run well and given no trouble. Coming home from work the other day it started making a loud tapping or clacking noise. Imagine a small jack hammer or some metal object interfering with metal spokes. I'm sorry but it's best description I can come up with. The sound seems to be roughly under the driver or further back. It's definitly NOT the motor. I imagined maybe the diff? For the little time we drove it, the car seems fine. Accelerates smoothly, no vibration of any kind, stops fine. Except for the evil sounding noise it seems fine. The problem is this. I need to get the car to our mechanic, about 10 - 15 easy klm away. But is it a good idea to drive it that far? Can anyone here at least suggest what the fault might be? And could (should) the car be driven. I know it's hard not seeing and hearing it your self but maybe the symptoms sound familier? Thanks in advance for any help at all!
