Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

So problem number one............

There is a knocking noise from the rear when I brake or put the car in reverse. The best way I can describe is like backlash from within rear driveline, a bit like a weight being pushed forwards then going backwards. Its not a harsh noise.

I have had this problem ever since I have owned the car.

It does not happen all the the time but I would like to get rid of this pesky issue.

Im thinking the rear diff is the culprit.

Anyone have any thoughts?

How olds the diff, could be getting play in it and you're hearing the slop as it goes from forward to reverse and back again

I don't know about Cusco.

What I do know is that most 1.5 / 2 way jap diff tend to be a bit tough and clunky (friction plates)

With helical there is none of that and therefore is just smoother and runs quieter

Diffs are a bridge i'll have to cross at some point soon-ish i think.

You'll have to re get your exemption won't you?

Also, I have a hard decision to make. GC hinterland or Mt Nebo

Up tambo, down tambo, up Oreilleys... ah f**k this roadworks and the 1 lane road, back down Oreilleys, up tambo, down tambo...

Stopped in at Cedar creek on the way back down too, i think i'll have to bring boardies and a towel next time.

If I had today off I would come with you Pete

I'm not sure my car's good enough to be seen with yours (once you get it finished at least!)

    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up. 
    • With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.
    • Scissor Jacks are an accident waiting to happen, the only time they should be used are in an roadside flat, even then a tyre and rim should be placed underneath 
    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
